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.

Is a standard for storing audio files in Apple operating systems. It was developed in 1988 based on the IFF format and is a lossless format – audio data is stored in an uncompressed form. In essence, AIFF is an analog to WAV for the Apple Macintosh platform.
