MPEG introduces H.265 draft that promises double the video quality next year
What is life if there is no progress at all? The Motion Pictures Expert Group (MPEG for short) has just issued a new video standard draft which claims to offer double the video quality at a similar size, and if you want to look at it the other way around, we are talking about an identical video quality at half the data rate, which is what today’s MPEG-4 H.264 standard stand for. The new H.265 draft is targeted for a release sometime next year, where it will specifically address mobile devices as well as networks overloaded with video. Devices that are able to take advantage of the new H.265 video compression standard might being as early as next year, with Apple having a very high probability of adopting support for the new H.265 specification in a jiffy for their collection of portable media players, smartphone, tablet and notebooks. What do you think of the upcoming MPEG H.265 draft standard, and will it really blow your eyes away?
