I am very curious about MV-HEVC. Why is the quality better, isn’t it just a container? How does compression work vs say a side by side as a single stream in HEVC? Does either format allow them to compress based off of redundant information from the views being so similar?

From http://www.hevc.info/mvhevc http://www.hevc.info/mvhevc > The multiview extension of HEVC (MV-HEVC) provides support for coding multiple views with inter-layer prediction. It is was designed as a high-level syntax only extension to allow reuse of existing decoder components. If it was just a container, you’d need 2x independent HEVC data streams decoded independently into 2x video streams. It sounds like MV-HEVC is a single encoded data stream decoded into multiple video streams.
