WinRAR got me through some hard times. She might be filthy, but she did the job
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
She’s proprietary nagware, and 7-Zip is better in every way.

Is this lossless?

What if it’s on a BTRFS --compress-force=zstd:22 compressed subvolume?

you can’t compress most media files again, they don’t get smaller that way as they’re already compressed. you can’t compress files again, that’s against Shannon Information theory.

s? Does anyone?

No way media compressed 5x.

Maybe they store images as uncompressed .bmp for some reason
Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 4 weeks ago
bmp should not compress more than other media files. jpeg, png, etc. can compress so much because they are lossy

Why are you surpried? It’s actually possible. You just need so much computing power like around 64 GB ram and High End CPU to Pack and Unpack both.
abfarid@startrek.website 4 weeks ago
Because modern media formats are already compressed by default and have very little redundancy in them.
