The trade‑off? HEVC requires more computational power to decode. Older devices (pre‑2016 smartphones, some smart TVs, or low‑end laptops) may struggle or require software decoding. But on modern hardware, it’s seamless.
A video compression standard designed to be more efficient than its predecessors (like AVC/H.264). It allows for better compression efficiency, which can result in smaller file sizes without a significant loss in video quality. This makes HEVC files more convenient for storage and streaming.
