similar to: NHW Project - high compression (-l6 setting and below)

Hello Ken, Many thanks for your reply! Yes, I very need to adapt the NHW codec to any image size.But actually it is the least interesting part, I don't think that it is that difficult (compared to creating high compression settings) but it is very boring, annoying... Really not the part that I prefer... For now, as I am jobless, my aim is to have "pleasure" with the NHW Project and

Hello, I would like to thank very much the Theora channel community for their support and help!!! And even recently a Theora channel member proposed me to freely host on his server the NHW Project website, to present the codec on the embedded processors, MCU forums that he knows well, another member forked my GitHub repository!!! Really thank you very much!!! It makes me think that maybe the NHW

Hello Spork, Thank you very much for your great help! So ok, let's create a website for the NHW Project! Anyone who wants to help is very welcome! Do you want we start first with wix.com or rather from nearly scratch? I think from scratch would be better as we can really do what we want, but it will be a lot and lot more difficult to make... -I will send you a private email for the USB

Hello, Just a quick message to let you know that I have improved -l6 quality setting. This high compression quality setting is now competitive with x265 (HEVC).Actually I prefer -l6 high compression setting compared to x265 on many images (not blurred)... Update at: http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ Else, do some of you could test the NHW Project under Linux? Many thanks! Cheers, Raphael

Hello all, Just a quick message to let you know that I have improved -l6 and -l7 high compression settings. These settings are notably better now, with more neatness and more precision.I find them competitive with x265 (HEVC) now!!! Update at: http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ Else I realize that the strength of the NHW Project is that it is royalty-free, and competitive with the great x265 codec

Hello Dave, Thank you very much for your support and your interest. Actually so few people took a look at the NHW Project, but with this version the NHW Project is becoming very interesting, it is royalty-free and very fast furthermore. Really if you could find time, I would be very interested in any opinion from the Xiph.org community! Cheers, Raphael 2018-04-28 21:40 GMT+02:00 Dave

Thank you so much Sir!!! If you have time, do not hesitate to let us know what you would think of the NHW Project.Any remark, opinion would be very welcome! Many thanks again!

Of course I will!

Hello, If it could be of interest, here are new speed measurement for -l13 very high compression setting. For x265 (HEVC), I use BPG codec, and this time I use -m 0 setting which uses the fastest encoding setting of x265.I run the .exe 10x times and I pick the best scores. So here are the timings at -l13 very high compression: Encode time: x265 (BPG -m 0): 80ms NHW: 20ms Decode time: x265

Cool, I'll check it out.

Hello, Just a quick message to let you know that I have really improved very high compression of the NHW Project from -l8 to -l13 quality settings, and we can still save 2.5KB per .nhw compressed file. Actually I am new to very high compression, it is just 3 months that I am working on it (I put on pause the NHW Project from August 2013 to February 2018 )... And I realize that very high

Hello, I don't have worked on the NHW Project this past week (I also have to work on an other project) but I found time today to make an "extensive" testing of x265 (HEVC) and the NHW codec at high compression (-l7 setting). That's right that x265 is a very good codec! Really impressive.The NHW Project is not as good, it can only compete with x265 (HEVC) on quite high quality

Hello, Could some of you take a look at the image comparison between the NHW Project and x265 (HEVC) at high compression, available here: http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ . I would be very very interested in your opinion, and it would help me to perfect the NHW Project.For me the NHW Project has more neatness, and x265 has more precision. Else, I was a little lazy these past months, as I

Hello, I have just added a new -l18 "extreme" compression quality setting to the NHW Project.I find this quality setting very good and actually better than x265 (HEVC). First, I wanted to let you know that compression of the wavelet DC image is really not efficient at extreme compression, I have the fast ideas to improve it, and so we can really save 2.5KB per .nhw compressed files in

Hello, Just a quick message to let you know that I have made good quality improvements for very high and extreme compression of the NHW Project (-l8 to -l15 quality settings).The NHW Project starts to be really competitive with x265 (HEVC) at these very high compression ratios.I even find the NHW Project visually better than x265 (HEVC) for mid and high compression! I have also improved encoding

Hello, Just a quick message to let you know that I get back to NHW Project currently. I downloaded 20 images from the Internet with rather good quality (mainly faces), I compressed them at high compression -l7 setting with the NHW Project, and on 19 images out of 20, I visually prefer the results of NHW compared to x265 (HEVC)!!! -I can make available these 20x3=60 512x512 24bit bitmap images

Hello, I've found some time to get back to the NHW Project.In fact a Xiph forum member told me that even if I will start a new job, he hopes that I will still continue to develop a little the NHW Project, on my spare time.I told him that I would furthermore spend my spare time on the NHW Project if a community around the project could emerge... and he told me that certainly the best way for

Hello, Very sorry I made a mistake, I compared this version with an old one, not with the previous one, and in fact results are the same, there is no improvement actually... Else I would like to have your opinion on how to have more visibility, audience for the NHW Project.I suspect that big companies don't even know that the NHW Project exists or they didn't test it because it seems too

Hello, I think I have nearly validated the -l8 "very high compression" setting, I have started to work on -l9 setting, and I have just tested these ones against x265 (HEVC), and on rather good quality images, they are very competitive, that's not a joke!!! I have tested -l8 quality setting on 30 rather good quality images against x265, and on 20-22 images I prefer the results of the
