Show HN: I developed a video codec for screencasts that reduces videos by 70%

1•dev_marcospimi•3mo ago
For personal use, in the last months I've developed a video codec for screencasts like tutorials, presentations, qa, etc. That reduce the size of the video by 70% (more or less). Now Im thinking in to sell this as a service for business who use it like courses, tutorial, or Qa videos uploaded to github for example.

Real result: 60min tutorial goes from 3.2GB → 800MB

Built in Rust. CLI for now, considering a $20/mo service.

Would you use this? Thoughts?

What's the Weissman score?
dev_marcospimi•3mo ago
Hahaha I guess 2.9

How does it compare to FFV1?
dev_marcospimi•3mo ago
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!
wmf•3mo ago
It sounds like your bitrate is not that much lower though. You need to be 10x better than existing free codecs.
dev_marcospimi•3mo ago
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.
