I would like to try a different analogy If the data was text and I wanted lossy compression then I would replace all the vowels with an "a" and then compress the resulting data with gzip. now if I switch gzip by using lzma instead, I would end up with a file smaller or the same size as the gzip version. Why does lossless h.265 or lossless av1 give me a larger file size than the original h.264? Why is this different for video? I hope my text compression analogy was clear. -- Best Regards, Stephane Archer _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
