Compression Comparison: HEVC vs. H.264

In his video coding and compression blog, Iain Richardson explores the quality of the new standard for video compression, HEVC, vs. H.264. He writes, "The new standard for video compression, High Efficiency Video Coding or HEVC, is claimed to require "half the bandwidth for high quality video transmission", compared with the older H.264/AVC standard. What does this mean? If the same video clip is encoded with H.264 at a particular bitrate, and with HEVC at half the bitrate, then the quality of the decoded HEVC video should be at least as good as the decoded H.264 video."
