H.264 videos are now common. All the big names online like YouTube, Metacafe, etc are focusing on this standard and its corresponding codecs. Its successor H.265 will be finalized soon. Media specialist "ROVI" has already previewed a compatible encoder. The H.265 standard can compress videos better than H.264 codec by as much as 50%, which is beneficial for streaming videos over the internet. It is currently under joint development by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) & ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG). This coding can support 8K Ultra HD and resolutions upto 8192x4320.
