Video files are growing larger every year as cameras shoot in higher resolutions and bitrates. Understanding how modern codecs like H.265 and AV1 work, what CRF means, and how to balance quality against file size can save you terabytes of storage. This guide covers everything from the basics of video encoding to advanced compression strategies.

H.265 (HEVC) and AV1 are the two leading modern video codecs, but they serve different needs. H.265 offers broad hardware support and fast encoding, while AV1 delivers superior compression ratios at the cost of slower encoding speeds. We compare encoding time, file size, playback compatibility, and visual quality to help you pick the right codec for your workflow.

Security cameras generate massive amounts of video data, often recorded at high bitrates with older codecs. By recompressing archived surveillance footage with H.265 at CRF 28, businesses can reduce storage costs by 50-60% without losing important visual detail. Learn how to set up batch processing for thousands of security recordings using VideoRecompress Studio.
