In comparison to AVC, HEVC offers about double data compression ratio at the same level of video quality or substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. HEVC, short for High-Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a video compression standard, one of several potential successors to the widely used AVC (H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10). Part 4: Convert HEVC/H.265 Video to MOV/MP4 for Playing HEVC/H.265 Video.This extension goes hand-in-hand with the Free HEIF/HEIC Extension for photos. Perhaps your CPU or GPU already included the cost of this license? If Microsoft wants to leave things up to interpretation, then interpret we shall. It’s entirely possible that they aren’t only talking about system builders, but other hardware vendors as well. But my biggest issue is that Microsoft describes this free version as “From Device Manufacturer.” But they don’t specify what devices from which manfacturers. If you build your own computer and install Windows on it, legally, you aren’t supposed to use this free version. Companies like Dell, HP, and Lenovo give money to Microsoft to have this available for them. This version of the HEVC Video Extension is paid for by OEMs: Original Equipment Manufacturers. Why are there two, and why does this link exist?
Have no fear! Microsoft also provides a link in the Microsoft store where you can download the HEVC Video Extension completely free of charge. But sometimes you’re just in a pinch and you don’t have your credit card on file, or you aren’t logged in to your normal Microsoft account and it’s just a pain. Just $0.99, in fact! In many cases, I don’t mind spending a dollar, and I encourage others to do the same. Microsoft offers the HEVC Video Extension necessary to play videos from iPhone users on their store, but they often try to charge a dollar for it.
