<abstract>An increasing number of services and growing popularity of high definition videos are creating much more need for higher coding efficiency. The analysis of design and performance metrics like peak signal-to-noise ratio and subjective quality test evaluate those HEVC encoders can achieve approximately 50% bit rate reduction than H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. The HEVC design is shown to be especially effective for low bit rates, high–resolution video content and low-delay communication applications. This paper also provides an overview and summarizes emerging studies on the coding features of H.262/MPEG-2 video, H.263, MPEG-4 visual.</abstract>
