Understanding Video Codecs
Video codecs compress and decompress digital video files. Choosing the right codec affects the quality, file size, and compatibility.
- AV1: Next-generation codec with high compression efficiency. Best for modern web use, but may have limited hardware support.
- H.264: The most widely supported codec across devices and browsers. A good balance between quality and compatibility.
- H.265: Improved compression over H.264 but with less universal browser support.
