While maintaining video quality the codec still can compress your videos at ratios of 200:1. It offers strong compression capabilities and though it is a lossy codec, the developers have attempted to minimize video quality degradation by limiting the degree of image removal performed by the software. Xvid – Xvid is an open-source codec that provides high performance and is compatible with many video players and operating systems.The codec also allows for compression to the same file size as AVC, but supplies much higher quality video than its predecessor.

This new codec affords users the benefit of file sizes that are 50% of those generated by AVC while delivering the same video quality. It was designed to provide twice the compression of the previous standard, H.264/AVC. HEVC/H.265 – High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is a video compression standard developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC).The wide variety of codecs would make an exhaustive list impossible, but we will take a look at three different ones to give you a flavor of what is available.
