MPEG-2 Video (M2V) is a raw elementary stream of MPEG-2 compressed video, commonly used in DVD and broadcast.
Raw H.265/HEVC is an elementary stream of High Efficiency Video Coding data, doubling compression efficiency over H.264.
Reach for M2V when your priority is dvd video, broadcast tv, mpeg-2 encoding — its efficient compression makes sharing fast and storage minimal.
Reach for HEVC when your priority is high-efficiency video encoding, 4k/8k streams — its efficient compression makes sharing fast and storage minimal.
