do you think it could be possible on multi-member lzip files to create fec files by members? It could make the creation, test and repair for such files a little bit faster and needing way less memory.
It is possible, but it would be complicated, would require changing the fec file format, and would give worse results. (The FEC blocks for a member can't be used to repair other members. More FEC blocks are required to achieve the same level of protection).
Because of the above, I would prefer not to implement multimember FEC unless whole-file FEC proves itself inadequate beyond repair for some use.
