+### HEVC: MP4, Quicktime, Matroska
+
+The [High Efficiency Video Coding](/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Guides/Formats/Video_codecs#hevc_h.265) codec, also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, can be included in the [MP4](/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Guides/Formats/Containers#mpeg-4_mp4) (`video/mp4`), [Quicktime](/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Guides/Formats/Containers#quicktime) (`video/quicktime`), and [Matroska](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska) (`video/matroska`) containers.
+
+Use of HEVC is generally described using a supporting MIME type with the `codecs` parameter appended; syntax examples are as follows:
+
+```plain
+video/mp4;codecs=hvc1.1.6.L186.B0,mp4a.40.2
+video/mp4;codecs=hvc1.1.6.L186.B0,opus
+video/mp4;codecs=hev1.1.6.L186.B0,mp4a.40.2
+video/mp4;codecs=hev1.1.6.L186.B0,opus
+```
+
+The syntaxes for each of the supported codecs look like this:
+
+- `hvc1[.A.B.C.D]` (HEVC video)
+  - : The value starts with the codec's four-character identifier (`hvc1`), followed by four or more values separated by periods (`.`):
+    - `A`
+      - : The **`general_profile_space`**. This is encoded as one or two characters:
+        - The first character is `A`, `B`, or `C`, representing `general_profile_space` `1`, `2`, or `3`, or no character, representing `general_profile_space` `0`.
+        - The second character is a decimal number representing the `general_profile_idc`.
+          > [!NOTE]
+          > In the above examples, the value `1` means `general_profile_space === 0` (no character) and `general_profile_idc === 1`.
+    - `B`
+      - : A 32-bit value representing one or more **general profile compatibility flags** (`general_profile_compatibility_flag`), encoded in hexadecimal (leading zeroes may be omitted), and specified in reverse bit order from most to least significant. The values can range from `31` (most significant) to `0` (least significant), and are specified in [ISO/IEC 23008-2](https://www.iso.org/standard/90502.html).
+
+        > [!NOTE]
+        > In the above examples, the value `6` means `general_profile_compatibility_flag === 6`.
+
+    - `C`
+      - : The **`general_tier_flag`**, encoded as `L` (`general_tier_flag === 0`) or `H` (`general_tier_flag === 1`), followed by the **`general_level_idc`**, encoded as a decimal number.
+
+        > [!NOTE]
+        > In the above examples, the value `L186` means `general_tier_flag === 0` followed by `general_level_idc === 186`.
+
+    - `D`
+      - : One or more 6-byte **constraint flags**. Note that each flag is encoded as a hexadecimal number, and separated by an additional period; trailing bytes that are zero may be omitted.
+
+        > [!NOTE]
+        > In the above examples, there is only one constraint flag present — `B0`.
