player Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 One of the big advantages BPG has over JPEG is its ability to deliver similar image quality as JPEG at about half the file size. Here’s a side-by-side comparison showing the same image compressed by BPG and JPEG to the same file size:source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go0gle Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Looks great when we know that fact :D :BPG (left) and JPEG (right) of a photo compressed to a file size of roughly 5872 bytes.I hope BPG will make a big success soon and app developers will make some new converting tools soon ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.lemane Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 A new image compression format - BPGKnown worldwide French genius programmer Fabrice Bellard (Fabrice Bellard) has developed a completely new standard for image compression, already estimated by experts as very promising. It is called Better Portable Graphics (BPG) and their properties significantly superior to common now format JPEG.If we compare the capability and BPG JPEG, writes portal Electronista, when the same amount of bytes to the last file in the case of image quality BPG is several times higher. In other words, BPG is optimally suited for use on the Internet - while maintaining the volume of traffic can greatly improve the quality of graphics.Fabrice Bellard has solved the problem of his support of the new standard BPG modern browsers by writing a universal decoder JS-weighing only 71 kilobytes. He performed at the Web server, and in the future, experts say, BPG will get very widespread.BPG standard itself is based on a subset of the so-called open standard compression HEVC, which is also very popular for its high performance and decent quality compressed using his image. Nevertheless, development of French programmer was even faster.To the possibility of BPG include support for alpha channels and color spaces RGB, CMYK and YCgCo, as well as built-in support for up to 14 bits per channel color, work with metadata, EXIF, ICC and even XMP. Fabrice Bellard BPG left open and distributed data, including the source code on the Internet. Original utility written in Linux, and the network already has its source-code plus the code of the javascript-decoder.Source: http://www.infox.rumore exampleshttp://bellard.org/bpg/gallery3.htmlhttp://bellard.org/bpg/lena.htmlhttp://bellard.org/bpg/gallery1.htmlhttp://bellard.org/bpg/gallery2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 that is amazing.... new format and Portuguese player appears on the picture :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everyone Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Without widespread interoperation it'll end just like google's WebP, which, by the way, still is natively supported only on chrome-based browsers. Even the best format isn't worth a broken dime as long as it doesn't have native support by mainstream image manipulation and viewing tools, by internet browsers, and finally by operating system. It took PNG a decade to finally get all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'd really like BPG to become mainstream, as it would be the new best thing since HTML5, CSS3 and SVG pictures, but even OGG, tho a lot better (quality wise) than mp3, ended up as a geeks-only format.

licurg Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Looks promising, but highly unlikely to replace JPEG. Old formats have too much momentum, we've seen this before. MP3's still alive and kicking, MP3Pro forgotten. WEBM still can't keep up with flash, etc. Interesting, but I think it'll remain just that.

Everyone Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 MP3Pro forgotten. WEBM still can't keep up with flash...Same with JPEG2000, DjVU, OGG and a few others. Well, the problem with JPEG2000 and MP3Pro was that those formats weren't really revolutionary in any way and their neglible benefits over proven industry-standard formats were not justified by rubbishly high licencing cost. BPG offers dramatically smaller file sizes with visibly better quality at the same time and is offered on liberal licences. Plus, it has alpha channel aswell, so it can very well push PNG over. As a bonus, it can be used on webpages even now without any effort from user. Actually I'll be using it in my current and future projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
