- H.265
H.265 is a hypothetical future
ITU-T Recommendation forvideo compression coding under study for potential development by the ITU-TVideo Coding Experts Group (VCEG). Although some agreements about the goals of an H.265 project have been reached, e.g. computational efficiency and high compression performance, no concentrated standardization effort is yet being conducted, due to insufficient readiness of technical advances at the moment. Sources say that H.265 would be desired to be 50% more efficient than H.264. [http://tvbeurope.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=358]While the current state of technology proposals does not yet seem mature for creation of a new H.265 standard, the study of potential such advances is a major part of the current work of VCEG.
In the event that new technology is developed that becomes mature for standardization but is not fundamentally different in nature than that found in
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC , it may be standardized as an extension of that standard rather than as a new H.265 standard. Several groups of such extensions have already been standardized (such as the Fidelity Range Extensions,Scalable Video Coding , and Multi-view Coding).External links
