Will the Xbox One/360 receive H.265 4K support? Not Yet!



“Would it be possible for Microsoft to release a software update that would give the Xbox One the capability to play HEVC (H.265) 4K video, or would I have to wait for the ninth generation of video game consoles to be able to do that?” – From answers.microsoft.com


 

4K resolution is widely predicted to be the main development trend of video resolution, which is on the way to all of us. While, High Efficiency Video Coding is the latest video compression standard that promises to deliver visual quality equivalent to H.264 with up to 50% bitrate savings (H.265 vs H.264). In most cases, to get higher video quality and definition for playback via Xbox One/Xbox 360. 

I would love the ability of being able to play H.265 encoded media through my Xbox One. Do you have the similar ideas? Fine, according to the Xbox’s supported formats limitation, it seems a little important to find some H.265/HEVC to Xbox converters to solve the issues, right?
