+<p>
+We have incorporated OpenHEVC, which is the first free implementation
+of HEVC, into FFmpeg. A major competitor of VP9, HEVC is a
+next-generation codec based on H.264, backed by Apple, Microsoft, and
+other companies. It is also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2. Like VP9,
+it doubles the coding efficiency of H.264 making transmitting videos
+more efficient. We have also added HEVC demuxing support in TS, MOV,
+and Matroska demuxers. The next step will be adding optimizations and
+SIMD assemblies.
+</p>
+<p>
+VP9 is the next generation video codec developed by Google. It is the
+core part of WebM, and is designed to replace VP8 and compete with
+HEVC/H.265. It doubles the quality of VP8 at any given bit rate.
+Previously, FFmpeg only supported decoding VP9 though the reference
+decoder libvpx, but the new native VP9 decoder brings more stability
+and performance gains when compared with libvpx.
