H.264 and H.265 are video compression standards that provide high-quality video at lower bitrates.
Compliance with these standards is essential for video streaming services to deliver high-quality video while minimizing data consumption, especially when combined with DRM for piracy protection. H.265 is also known as “HEVC”.
Real-World Examples
Streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video use these compression standards to optimize streaming and reduce the risk of piracy by securing video content during transmission.
