Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] media: docs-rst: Append HEVC specific term
Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2022 19:31:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220326183158.65303-1-sebastian.fricke@collabora.com> (raw)

Describe the coding tree unit as replacement for the macroblock in the
HEVC codec. Highlight a key difference of the HEVC codec to predecessors
like AVC(H.264) to give a better overview of the differences between the
coding standards.
