H264 vs H264+ vs H265

Which one to use?
H264 has been proven, but are the new any better?

Comments

  • H.264 is the one to use.

    H.265 is relatively new, and SecuritySpy currently can't use it, because the Apple API that SecuritySpy uses for video compression and decompression (VideoToolbox) currently doesn't support it. I expect that Apple will add this (perhaps in the next macOS system update), at which point we'll be able to support it.

    The H.265 format itself is a bit better, in that it has lower bandwidth than an H.264 stream at equivalent quality.
