| The new H.266 VVC codec promises 45% lower bitrate than H.265 HEVC tho sadly will require alot more encoding time. It seems very exciting; any thoughts? I have no idea when or if it will be available for home encoders, but suspect it will one day be leaked via a torrent for us all to try. | |

| At it's current state.. dead out of the water. There is already an encoder for VVC (https://github.com/fraunhoferhhi/vvenc) but its unfathomably slow, proprietary nature (which hampers adoption), does not support Y4M input (for now), and no video player support. FFmpeg the so-called "A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video." refused to support VVenC due to its dubious licensing.  | |

| even x265 took years to fully evolved, and VCC x266 is a very new and still in development, so no chance to give it a try . | |

| For those with powerful PC`s & wish to experiment; someone has made a fork of FFMPEG that allows for both encoding and decoding of H.266 VVC. https://www.github.com/yodadude2003/FFmpeg-VVC How to play h.266 files https://github.com/TencentCloud/O266player *Reading the youtube comments seems encoding may take 200% longer than encoding H.265 but should yield superior video quality & much lower file sizes  Last edited by realityshow on 2022-11-22 22:22:36 | |

| x264 excellent for 720, 1080p, x265 excellent for 1080p, 4k, x266 excellent for 4k, 8k................. and so on. But yes you would need a serious rig with some serious soft/hardware installed to even consider changing from x265 encoding to x266 in the future "or not so future" | |

| I`m happy to open this up for debate. I see no reason for you to dissuade folks from experimenting with their SD, 720p,1080p content. These sites + many more say: "The H.266/VVC codec will deliver the same visual quality from SD right up to 8K" https://www.pcmag.com/news/h266-codec-promises-to-reduce-video-file-sizes-by-half "H.266/VVC provides efficient transmission and storage of all video resolutions from SD to HD up to 4K and 8K" https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/new-h-266/vvc-codec-will-offer-faster-streaming-of-8k-or-4k-videos-on-mobile/articleshow/76847748.cms I really hope to see new VVC H.266 torrents pop up on this site. I`m sure many wont be happy as they will complain about not being able to play this content. For them then they can just download a x264 copy. But for the majority of the users be it PC or MAC these new space saving video torrents are of great importance.  Last edited by realityshow on 2022-11-29 00:51:03 | |

| hevc x265 took about 5 years after it was launched to gain market share. I don't know if today's hardware, with just a software update, would implement support for this and other codecs. | |

| Some TGX trivia on Versatile Video Coding (VVC) aka H.266 (or h266 or x266) First h266 on TGX is possibly this Simpsons episode uploaded on 15 December 2021
This 27 Nov 2018 torrent with "x266" in filename is possibly a typo as this predates the release of the first edition of the standard on 6 July 2020. The first working draft was produced in April 2018.
MVGroup has 21 h266 torrents: 12 in 2023 and 9 in 2024. Latest on 8 July 2024 and there's still almost half a year left in 2024. | |||||

| FFmpeg Update As of July 1, 2024, FFmpeg’s full builds now include libvvenc for H.266/VVC encoding support. Shutter Encoder Update On August 12, 2024, Shutter Encoder introduced H.266 support with Version 18.4. HandBrake & Ab-av1 Support? Currently, HandBrake does not support H.266 encoding directly, and Ab-av1 only has support for x264, x265, av01. Personally, I prefer AV1, cause it’s open-source and royalty-free. But who knows?
