HEVC is a video compression algorithm developed by Moving Picture Experts Group as a successor to h.264 video standard, usually outperforming it with 2 times smaller video sizes of the same quality.

Advantages: The best video encoder for a given bitrate, fast to encode compared to other current gen encoders.

Disadvantages: Demanding video playback, encumbered by many licenses that limit its usage.
