HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, sometimes called H.265) is a new video compression format and is the successor of H.264. It was formalized on the 25th of November 2013 and published as ISO/IEC 23008-2:2013. Work on the open source HEVC decoder and encoder (x265) is still being done, but a proposed implementation of the codec has been made available.
Support in XBMC
XBMC v13 "Gotham" does not support HEVC encoded videos. Support is included in the upcoming Kodi v14 and recent development builds.
Hardware acceleration
There are very few hardware video decoding options out on the market right now, which means that any HEVC decoding, XBMC or not, will require a fairly recent and powerful desktop-class processor.
