It better predicts changes between frames, sending only the differences rather than the entire image, which dramatically reduces file size.

Watching on small smartphone screens or saving storage space

Thanks to HEVC and a bit of digital street-smarts, Alex kept his film education alive, one highly compressed, 100-megabyte file at a time [1].

To give you a head start, here are five movies that have been compressed down to 100MB or less in HEVC:

: Audio is often the first thing sacrificed. Most 100MB encodes use AAC or Opus at low bitrates (around 32-64kbps), which may sound "tinny" or flat. Compatibility

Developing a full-length movie at a 100MB file size using HEVC (H.265) represents the extreme edge of video compression. Achieving "best" quality at this size requires aggressive downscaling and specific encoding parameters. Compression Feasibility
