HEVC Codec for Windows 11

HEVC (H.265) is a new generation video codec that can provide maximum image quality with a minimum final file size.

Software description

This video extension is very popular, especially recently. It is this codec that provides the best compression combined with excellent picture quality. In order for your operating system to support encoding and playback of such videos, you must install a special driver package.

The software that will be discussed below is distributed exclusively free of charge. Accordingly, no activation is required.

How to Install

Let's move on to the installation process of the driver package we need:

1. A little lower you will find a button with which you can download the latest version of the software for free.
2. Next, we start the installation process and leave all the checkboxes as they are by default.
3. Using the “Next” button, we move on to the next step, and then simply wait for the files to be copied to their places.

How to use

No further user action is required. The software we work with is initially configured correctly. Advanced users can open a special tool and make the configuration, as they say, for themselves.

Advantages and disadvantages

Let's look at the strengths and weaknesses of this codec compared to other existing solutions.

Pros:

• maximum video compression;
• best picture quality;
• The processing power of the video card's GPU can be used for encoding.

Cons:

• Support is not available on all devices.

Download

The latest version of the software we talked about above is available for download using a direct link or via torrent.
