Base64 relies on simple encoding and decoding algorithms. They work with a 65-character subset of US-ASCII where each of the first 64 characters maps to an equivalent 6-bit binary sequence.

But encoding doesn’t get nearly the attention that decoding does, despite evidence that, from the earliest grades on, writing practice is a powerful aid and complement to reading instruction.

Also a new real-time video decoding system compatible with the encoding system resulted in real-time, high-quality 8K video encoding and decoding in experiments simulating an actual broadcast.

It's just announced that Vulkan Video, a low-level API for handling video streams, now fully supports the hardware acceleration of the H.264 and H.265 standards for decoding and encoding.
