MulticoreWare leads the development of the x265 HEVC encoder. x265 is based on the x264 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC encoder with a similar command-line syntax and feature set. x265 is offered under either the GNU General Public License (GPL) 2 license or a commercial license. In February 2014, Telestream's Vantage Transcode Multiscreen became the first commercial product to introduce x265 encoding technology. In October 2015, the Video Group at Moscow State University identified x265 as having the highest overall efficiency (i.e. the lowest bit rate at any target quality level) in its first comparison of HEVC encoders.
