Is there a quality difference between h264 and h265?
265 is newer and more advanced than H. 264 in several ways. H. 265 (also called HEVC, or High Efficiency Video Coding) allows for further reduced file size, and therefore reduced required bandwidth, of your live video streams.
Which format is better x264 or x265?
Here's a snapshot: x265 and libvpx demonstrate superior compression performance compared to x264, with bitrate savings reaching up to 50% especially at the higher resolutions. x265 outperforms libvpx for almost all resolutions and quality metrics, but the performance gap narrows (or even reverses) at 1080p.
Does h265 reduce quality?
265 can decrease bit rate requirements and associated storage needs by approximately 30% with no perceived loss to video quality. Similarly, retaining the same bit rate enables much-improved image quality.
Why is h265 bigger than h264?
H. 264 uses what are called macroblocks, processing units that span 4×4 to 16×16 pixels. H. 265 uses a newer block structure called coding tree units (CTUs), which can process sizes of up to 64×64 pixels.
