## Remarks

Member of [XAppCaptureRecordClipResult](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xappcapture/structs/xappcapturerecordclipresult.md). H.264 (also known as AVC - Advanced Video Coding) is an industry standard for video compression that allows for the recording, compression, and distribution of digital video content. H.265 (also known as HEVC - High Efficiency Video Coding) is a more advanced version, which allows for further reduced file size, and therefore a reduction in required bandwidth for streaming.
