The Motion Picture Experts Group (that's the MPEG) has drafted the next compression spec we'll all be using, the High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) which has been dubbed H.265.
It basically gives the viewer the same image quality at half the bit rate and file size. So how will you use it? The big users will be mobile phone and cable companies, allowing them to stream twice the amount of video in the same limited bandwidth. Stereography types can deliver 3D images in the same file size as a 2D image.
But where it will get interesting for us video types is QFHD and UHD. QFHD is the 4K (3840x2160) we'll all be using by next year.
8K Ultra High Definition (UHD) or Super Hi-Vision (SHV) TV makers are already looking forward to a 7680x4320 image size, although there will probably be a H.266 by then.

So UHD is 8K?
