HEVC/H.265, the successor to AVC/H.264, more than triples the existing AVC intra-frame prediction modes to achieve significant bitrate savings. This codec can offer up to 50% reduced bitrate at the same quality when compared to AVC/H.264. However, many multimedia players and video editing tools don’t keep the pace with the codec. So sometimes, you need a H.265 to H.264 converter so that you are able to play or edit your H.265 video in your devices:
