Middle out

lzip

Depends on the metric.

E.g paq8 has highest compression, but is FUCKING SLOW.

FLAC ;)

and lz4 is good for when you gotta go fast, like piping data acroos the network at gbps speeds

7z

>not .tar.xz
OP asked for the best

I always thought 7z was the shit and its not even better than zip? Is this normal or some special case Jow Forums?

7z is leagues better than zip lol

bzip2

shorten

DUDE
TWO EXTENSIONS

DUDE EPIC GONNA SWITCH RIGHT NOW

good thing no one cares what you think

For what purpose?

What kind of software do repackers like fitgirl and corepack use?

learn about compression. there is no "best".

Post a screenshot of your uncompressed video collection.

Of course there is. See and cyborg.co/tech/stealth

>I always thought 7z was the shit and its not even better than zip?
Noooooo. 7z and bzip2 are god-tier, everything else is pretending.

I call bullshit on this one. Post og file, pretty sure you just selected fast compression.

>jpeg file bigger than png file
Explain this

Congratulations, you played yourself.

Slow piece of shit.

Or having your entire file system compressed with lz.
I did that on gentoo with btrfs, it's great for all the source code files.

The image is mostly solid blocks of color, so it compresses better as png.

you can achieve crazy stuff with precomp

the 7zip in your image was set to normal instead of ultra. I'm 100% sure

is one video really a collection?

Based.

Post it.

>its not even better than zip
You base this on?

Took me a while, but I chuckled

yes, wintoddler, archives have two extensions. and there's a reason for it, usually you make a tar (originally made for tape backups) tarball of the files you'd like to compress. it's a storage container for multiple files. you run that through some compression program like gzip, bzip2, xz or whatever and get a file that's named mystuff.tar.gz or mystuff.tar.xz

I guess I've used GNU/Linux so long I'm used to this being the "right" way to do it.

middle out, user.

>best compression
good question, Jow Forums should answer that one. Among the common ones LZMA is among the best in terms of compression ratio.

Of course, that's not everything,
it does depend on purpose. as an example, lzo-rle is probably the absolute best we have right now in terms of speed/compression which makes it the logical choice for things like zram, zswap etc (you have to be fast yet useful).

Jpg saves an image in 8x8 pixel blocks, basically it divides the entire image into 8x8 pixel blocks, and matches each to one of the closest predefined patterns

PNG on the other hand saves every individual pixel, but if pixels of the same color are next to each other, instead of saving each individual one, PNG sets a range where all those pixels with the same color are


So in that specific image, where you have a lot of white pixels adjacent to each other on the background, and many black pixels next to each other on the text, PNG does a better job

Whatever yify uses
1080p video in 1.5 GB?
thank u yify

I do this but with zstd

Now, let's take those upvotes back to facebook, okay, sport?

Ok idiots now explain to me why 50% is maximum lossless compression for music. Flac, Alac they're all the same.

Because random data you nimrod.
