With the evolution of video coding, balancing video compression efficiency with quality has become a critical challenge for researchers and the industry. The development of the next-generation video coding standards, such as Versatile Video Coding (VVC), signifies a significant leap in supporting high-resolution formats including 8K, HDR, and WCG. Currently, machine vision has emerged as a rising research focus, driven by breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence and its growing role in content generation, production, distribution, and storage in multimedia applications. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the video coding tools in the VVC standard. Additionally, we examine recent research in next-generation video coding, particularly in Beyond VVC and end-to-end coding frameworks. Developments in shared human-machine vision systems are also discussed, emphasizing their relevance in evolving multimedia applications. Finally, this paper provides an outlook on video coding standards, considering their potential to drive next-generation multimedia technologies.
