“H. 264 (x264)” is the standard for most high-definition videos. “H. 265 (x265)” allows for greater compression and can produce higher quality videos at lower file sizes. This codec is good for 4K Ultra HD videos. However, this format may not be supported by some video applications. For videos that have higher color depth (such as videos with HDR), you can select “H. 264 10-Bit” or “H. 265 10-Bit”. [1] X Research source “MPEG-4” is an older codec format, but still works.
