Raw H.265/HEVC is an elementary stream of High Efficiency Video Coding data, doubling compression efficiency over H.264.
Raw H.264/AVC is an elementary stream of H.264 encoded video data without container overhead, used in video analysis.
Reach for HEVC when your priority is high-efficiency video encoding, 4k/8k streams — its efficient compression makes sharing fast and storage minimal.
