What's the Weissman score?
about 2 months ago
Hahaha I guess 2.9
How does it compare to FFV1?
Well.. i think FFV1 is for keeping perfect quality masters, mine is for making small files
people can actually download or reduce storage quotas. Different problems!
It sounds like your bitrate is not that much lower though. You need to be 10x better than existing free codecs.

Wait, I think you misread the numbers?
In my tests: Original bitrate: 9,477 kb/s My compressed: 1,238 kb/s
That's 87% lower bitrate (7.6x reduction)
Maybe you meant absolute bitrate isn't impressively low? Fair - 1,238 kb/s is still higher than highly-Tuned AV1 (~400-600 kb/s).
But compared to what most people export (default OBS/ScreenFlow settings), this is a huge improvement for zero manual tuning.
