a WIP video codec for pixel art: [[https://twitter.com/yip_pe/status/1296978100522115073?s=21]] #links #pixelart
the c64 method would be an even cheaper video storage mechanism, but you wouldn’t get constant 2-bit color.
so, having the etudes be ~20mb/minute for sound AND video ain’t too bad, and that’s before doing any sort of compression. My etudes are almost always 80-120 seconds long, so the total size of a lossless uncompressed etude would be ~40mb, consistently. #halfbakedideas
my #breathingcard etudes are 128x64 resolution videos with 4x zoom, that normally use no more than 4 colors (2-bits) using a 2-bit color storage format, that’s ~7mb a minute for raw uncompressed 60 fps video. not bad. #halfbakedideas

Decode It Like It’s 1999
A few years ago I started to work on an MPEG1 Video decoder, completely written in JavaScript. Now, I finally found the time to clean up the library, improve its performance, make it more error resilient and modular and add an MP2 Audio decoder and MPEG-TS demuxer. This makes this library not just an MPEG decoder, but a full video player.
In this blog post I want to talk a bit about the challenges and various interesting
bits I discovered during the development of this library. You’ll … ⌘ Read more
