H.265/HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is a video compression standard, a solid foundation for the future 4K time. HEVC is said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVCA at the same level of video quality.

Pavtube Video Converter, has a comprehensive update which included this H.265/HEVC decode/encode features. The output H.265 videos are almost 50% smaller than those encode by H.264, while the quality is as good as original one.
