Shrinking Hevc Upd -

“Shrinking HEVC” refers to reducing the file size of a video encoded with H.265/HEVC while preserving acceptable visual quality. It is not about physically shrinking the video resolution (though that can be part of the process) but rather about efficient compression to minimize storage or bandwidth usage.
