While raiding Wikipedia for scant pieces of multimedia information they might have that are not yet in the MultimediaWiki<\/a>, I learned of 2 new lossless video codecs– Lagarith<\/a> and MSU Lossless Video<\/a>. I’ve heard people grumble about how lossless video codecs just don’t perform. I know of one grumbler in particular — you know who you are — who claims that FLAC<\/a> actually outperforms the nominal special-purpose lossless video codec. I am expecting a full report from you on how these new codecs stack up. The MSU technology is proprietary but I have started to document the GPL’d Lagarith codec in the Wiki. The author contributed a write-up of the surface details. I am trying to plod through the control flow. It’s a bit slow-going though since many of the crucial functions are written in MMX-optimized ASM.<\/p>\n

In other Wiki news, I finally found a logo:<\/p>\n

It is the same one seen on Wikipedia’s multimedia entry<\/a> and apparently comes from a set of KDE icons made here<\/a>. I like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
