What is IVF ?

The IVF (Interleaved Video Format) is a file format used primarily for storing video data along with its corresponding audio. It is commonly associated with the storage of raw or minimally compressed video streams, allowing for efficient playback and editing.

What is HEVC ?

HEVC or h.265 is the most advanced codec for now because it has the lowest bitrate without losing the image quality. The codec has three main features that distinguishes it from others: parallel decoding, random access to images within the video stream and larger maximum block size. HEVC is aimed to offer the same level of video quality as AVC (h.264), but with improved compression, that is why a video file compressed with the codec will be twice smaller.

Why Convert IVF to HEVC file?

IVF is a thin container, used mostly in testing and development to wrap a single video stream — commonly VP8, VP9 or AV1 — with minimal overhead. HEVC (H.265) is a codec rather than a container, so this conversion re-encodes the video stream itself.

That means a full re-encode, not a repackage: the picture is decoded and compressed again, so there is some generation loss, and the process takes real time on longer clips. What you gain is HEVC's efficiency and the hardware decoding support that modern phones, TVs and Apple devices provide for it.
