summary

Covers why codec choice matters by naming actual formats and showing a hands‑on comparison: historical context from H.261 to H.265, a live demo that compresses a lasso video with multiple codecs so viewers can see artifacts and bitrate tradeoffs, and a concrete prediction that H.267 is next. Claims about real uptake include a startling “98% of adults” misunderstanding compression, and playful future builds — zero‑byte files and “smart” codecs — presented as speculative rather than demonstrated.
