- Description
 - The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) file, commonly known by its file extension .hevc, represents a video compression format designed to substantially improve coding efficiency compared to its predecessor, H.264/AVC. Aimed at enabling higher resolution video content such as 4K and 8K, HEVC is adept at maintaining high-quality video at roughly half the bitrate, significantly reducing file sizes without compromising on visual fidelity. This efficiency makes HEVC particularly valuable in streaming media applications.
 - A PPM file is a 24-bit color image formatted using a text format. It stores each pixel with a number from 0 to 65536, which specifies the color of the pixel. PPM files also store the image height and width, whitespace data, and the maximum color value.
