HEVC

HEVC, or High Efficiency Video Coding, is a video compression standard that significantly improves video quality and reduces file size compared to its predecessor, AVC. It efficiently compresses 4K and 8K videos, making it ideal for streaming and storage. As the preferred codec for high-resolution video data, HEVC is widely used in digital broadcasting, online streaming services, and video conferencing solutions.

AC3

The AC3 (Audio Codec 3) format is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It's commonly used in DVD and digital television broadcasts, providing high-quality surround sound. With efficient compression, AC3 enables superior audio quality while reducing file size, making it ideal for home theater systems and multimedia applications.
