HEVC (aka H.265) has earned its reputation since 2014 when Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft announced HEVC support for their products in succession. From then on, the video codec is applied to a wide range of fields, incl. GoPro, iPhone, modern cameras, 4K/8K high-resolution videos, online streaming, 4K Blu-rays, and so on. However, Microsoft doesn't provide native support for the HEVC codec in Windows 11/10.
