x265 is a H.265 / HEVC video encoder application library, designed to encode video or images into an H.265 / HEVC encoded bitstream.
x265 Project Goals
Jun 06, 2017. May 25, 2020. X265 is the leading H.265 / HEVC encoder software library. Compress video with higher quality and lower bit rates than H.264. Open source codec. Dec 08, 2018.
Hevc 265 Codec
Mar 09, 2019. As Graphical User Interface (GUI), we suggest you to use x265vfw. And if you want to play HEVC videos in any video player on your Windows 10 device, install HEVC Video Extension, from Microsoft. Its main purpose is to transfer the quality and speed of x264 to the H.265/HEVC compression standard. X265 is the spearhead of the next generation of codecs. Oct 15, 2017.
- Develop the best HEVC (H.265) video encoder in the world
– Offer the highest possible quality at any given bit rate
– Offer the lowest possible bit rate for a given quality level - Deliver the world’s fastest and most computationally efficient HEVC encoder
– Highest encoding speed on any hardware configuration
– Highest visual quality, whether you are doing high quality offline encoding or high speed real-time encoding - Deliver industry-leading HEVC codec features, supporting the full HEVC standard including range extensions
- Achieve wide adoption from the open source community, leading web video services, broadcast encoder developers, independent software developers, video hardware and software developers, device OEMs, semiconductor manufacturers and academics.
- Provide the best possible support to developers, licensees and adopters
Try it
- The x265 Encoder application combines a user-friendly interface with the x265 encoder library, making it easy for anyone to convert MP4 files to HEVC.
