How to encode HEVC with FFmpeg and x265

Learn how to encode HEVC videos with FFmpeg, the popular encoding tool, and x265.

HEVC, also known as H.265, or High Efficiency Video Coding, is a video compression format. The successor to H.264, it produces smaller files with comparable quality, particularly at higher resolutions. Compatibility, however, is not as ubiquitous as H.264. The most popular HEVC encoder, x265, is accessible from FFmpeg.

ffmpeg -i "INPUT.mp4" -c:v libx265 -preset slow -crf 18 -x265-params no-sao=1:deblock=-1,-1:aq-mode=1 -c:a copy "OUTPUT.mp4"
