user14472: What are the main differences between h.264 and h.265?

user14421: h.265 is obviously more compressed than h.264 and was built for UHD and 4K. Though 1080 files still look great and are even smaller when encoded with h.265 than h.264. Some computers may have trouble with the new codec since it is so new. But, without being too technical, you can think of h.265 and being the new h.264.

user14533: HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding),  the new video coding standard brings promise of huge bandwidth savings of approx. 40-45% over H.264 encoded content
