Can any lossless compression scheme improve on {J,M}PEG? If multiple
streams are stored in venti then there may be some common blocks but
even that should not significantly surpass RAR algorithm's "solid"
archiving of the same streams. Not that I understand these things.
Only if there are shared blocks. Macro blocks in MPEG are 8x8 pixels
which makes them < 32k in size. If you're lucky you might just align
them when written to Venti!
I'll know soon enough as I'm in the process of building a Venti store
for our video files. I just wondered if anyone had done it already.
I doubt there's much in it.
