MV-HEVC stands for Multiview High Efficiency Video Coding. It is a video compression standard that extends HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) to support the encoding of multiple views of a scene. This is particularly useful for applications involving 3D video and spatial media, where multiple perspectives of the same scene are captured and need to be efficiently stored and transmitted.

In the context of Apple's WWDC sessions, MV-HEVC is mentioned in the session titled "Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences." It is noted that spatial videos are built on top of MV-HEVC, making them valid as 3D videos. This allows AVPlayer View Controller to treat them as such, although for full spatial presentation, the preview application is recommended.

For more details, you can refer to the session Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences (12:22).
