<div>Hello,</div><div><br></div><div>Just a quick message to let you know
that I have made good quality improvements for very high and extreme
compression of the NHW Project (-l8 to -l15 quality settings).The NHW
Project starts to be really competitive with x265 (HEVC) at these very
high compression ratios.I even find the NHW Project visually better than
x265 (HEVC) for mid and high compression!<br></div><div><br></div><div>I have also improved encoding speed (C optimizations).</div><div><br></div><div>More at: <a href="http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/</a></div><div><br></div><div>We can still save 2.5KB per .nhw compressed files.</div><div><br></div><div>I
wanted to correct my last speed measurement, with the same level of
optimization, the NHW Project is at least 20x faster to encode (bpgenc
-m 0) or at least 52x time faster to encode (bpgenc -m 7) and at least
15x faster to decode than x265 BPG (optimized HEVC).</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks and Happy New Year!!!</div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Raphael<br></div>
