Oh yeah, it looked very good considering the compression it gets, and I am definatly interested in getting a FreeBSD port :) I'll test it at home on my P233, which should be more suitable :) > (by AT&Ts claims of 5 to 10x better compression then Jpeg), that much less > data (image wise) being strewn across the 'Net... Yes, but from reading the info on the compression scheme it is only suitable for low colour pictures which require crispness (eg text), whereas jpeg is better for pictures with lots of colour (eg images of people etc) Still, I'm just guessing and haven't tried it :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
