H.266/VVC codec will be 50% more efficient than H.265/HEVC without quality compromise

Fraunhofer, which developed H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC has finalized H.266/Versatile Video Coding (VVC), a new global video coding standard after being in development for almost three years. It promises improved compression, which reduces data requirements by around 50% compared to previous standard H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) without compromising visual quality.
