To be fair though – 700mb for near dvd quality seemed unlikely a while back

It’s vaporware. Doom9 forums confirmed it. o.o

All of you naysayers will eat crap when this technology is sold. It is for real and as advertised. Did I mention Euclidvision? Oh, I didn’t!

The way I understand this technology, it’s not a new concept. Adobe ImageReady uses this technique to keep file size down when creating animated gifs. I just don’t see it happening with an action flic where the background and faces change on every frame. For webcam or talking heads news, maybe.

Actually it is not total crap. Euclid’s Studio on their website is two years old and has not been updated. The demo was demonstrated to Hiawatha Bray technical writer of the Boston Globe. We asked him if he saw the demo, he said he did. He admitted that he only say a small demo not long enough to evaluate in a full length movie, but enough to see that quality compared to H264 with a much small bandwith and appreciably smaller file size.

It’s totall crap trust me, the sample video that they use to demonstrate there codec is a news woman reading something for about 20sec at 1fps. This file is 3kb, when the same video is in xvid it comes out to be about 10kb. The only reason euclid’s codec has any rela adavantage is because its totally optimized for ultra low crappy bandwith. On any normal video and AVS codec would certianly win

What a revelation! By doing more processing, we can more intelligently decide what to throw away/reuse. Wake me up when we have enough bandwidth to download lossless video.

Oh wait, we do have enough for audio, but barely anybody is providing lossless content. Certainly none of the RIAA channels.

Was the original written by a technical person?

What is the resolution?

I find it hard to believe a codec could compress a movie to 50Mb and for it to be still watchable, like a Divx movie is, which is the comparison they make.

The ratio is just amazing. If this provides bug free and excellent PQ, these people are billionaires.
