This post discusses a novel approach for lossless video compression leveraging Bloom filters, particularly effective for binary strings with a low density of 1s. The author emphasizes how traditional codecs like JPEG and MPEG rearrange data to create efficient compression through long runs of zeroes. The discussion also highlights that while codecs like H.264 can operate in lossless modes, this feature is rarely utilized. User comments raise important queries about compression ratios, potential applications in recompressing existing H.264 videos, and the clarity of documentation regarding workflows.
