- 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.
 - An XPS file is a document that contains fixed page layout information written in the XPS page description language. It defines the layout, appearance, and printing information for a document. XPS files are similar to .PDF files, but saved in Microsoft’s proprietary XPS format.
