#lossless compression

[a2zconverter]

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that supports both lossy and lossless compression, along with transparency and animation. It’s designed specifically for the web, promising smaller file sizes without noticeable quality loss.

PNG IS LOSSLESS COMPRESSION.

There is no reason to use another format, not in this day-and-age when 10MB files are considered "small".

JPG is lossy compression; don't do it unless you must.

Bluetooth earbuds have convinced the public that 'lossless audio' is somehow expensive tech for true audiophiles when literally if you listen to a CD player with wired headphones you're getting lossless audio

i always bring up spotify’s lack of lossless streaming as a reason to stop using it and people always respond by saying that most people can’t hear the difference and it always frustrates me because like. i’m not gonna deny that i’m probably more attuned to hearing the difference between lossless and lossy because i took audio engineering classes but it feels like woefully missing the point. it’s not about the streaming quality by itself (barring the fact that while most people can’t hear the difference switching from lossy to lossless, they can hear it switching back from lossless to lossy), it’s about the fact that spotify could be offering an objectively superior product but are simply choosing not to. it’s about the fact that streaming services that have lossless audio are either the same price (deezer) or cheaper (apple music, tidal) than spotify, giving spotify absolutely no excuse to not offer lossless audio. it’s about how the streaming quality setting in spotify is set to low by default and lots of people don’t even know that’s a setting you can change. when you say “people can’t tell the difference anyway” you’re kind of doing spotify’s dirty work for them, which is deliberately not giving your customer base a better product operating on the assumption that the customer doesn’t know there’s better out there. i think it’s shitty as a business practice and also entirely disrespectful to music as an art form

it’s so crazy when you find people who you can talk to in a way where the discussion feels like passing your ideas through a sieve that makes them sharper and more refined. for me 90% of the conversations i’m in can end up feeling like they’re doing the opposite, so it’s something really special

me watching a low-resolution stream: wow, lossy compression... just like in Exordia

My whole life has been a lie! This whole time I've been rocking WebP formatted photos on my Jellyfin server, they've been...

Devastated. Kicking. Screaming. Crying.

I thought Shutter Encoder could detect when a PNG was input and encode the WebP file properly, but using Google's "webpinfo" command, I confirmed that all my formerly PNG photos are now lossy, so I guess it can't.

Fortunately, however, I found a semi-GUI macOS app which can batch convert photos into JPEG XL, and using some custom workflow rules, it CAN determine whether a photo needs lossy or lossless conversion. Looks like my data hoarding of the original formats is paying off, and I'm moving to JXL sooner than I expected.

Thoughts on Cinema: Finding the Middle Ground Between Film and Digital Filmmaking

As someone who has spent a significant amount of time working with audio and video production—and as a long-time moviegoer—I’ve noticed a troubling trend in the film industry: we seem to have fallen into an all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to film versus digital. It’s like there’s this unspoken war between purists who champion celluloid as the only “real” way to make a movie and the…

This is how you know it's going to be a high quality CBZ file.

I really should add in some jpeg or webp compression huh?

"Oh yeah? I see you dont have an alpha channel. And what's that on your shirt, *lifts sunglasses and squints* some compression artifacts? Best move along, pal."

SAC ~ State-Of-The-Art Lossless Audio Compression

Sac is a state-of-the-art lossless audio compression model. Lossless audio compression is a complex problem, because PCM data is highly non-stationary and uses high sample resolution (typically >=16bit). That’s why classic context modelling suffers from context dilution problems. Sac employs a simple OLS-NLMS predictor per frame including bias correction. Prediction residuals are encoded using a…
