Hey, Hacker News! Let's talk about video compression! With the Ycombinator winter application date bearing down on us, Cramtec has announced a new experimental beta build of the state-of-the-art media compressor named Cram. Cram is able to significantly reduce (by more than 20%) the size of audio, video, and images losslessly without the need to re-encode or convert. Cram offers companies a drop in binary with the ability to significantly reduce overhead and bandwidth for Data Distribution, Online Backup, and Media Streaming. Head on over to the beta's github site (cramcore.github.io), click the Resources tab, and grab yourself a copy of the beta binary to beat up on! We plan to add a C version, multithreading, and powerful GPGPU computation in the weeks and months to come. We can use everyone's feedback!
