Limit score of data compression

2 New Member
Hello everyone.
Is it possible to create software like Pied Piper from HBO's Silicon Valley? It compress files lossessly up to 5 times. For example, in the last episod of the first season they compress 132gb 3D video file to 24,35gb.
So is it possible?

If you're asking whether it's possible to achieve large lossless compression ratios with files. The answer is yes, just look at any number of zip programs.

If you're asking whether it's possible to do the same thing with video files, the answer depends on what file format the video is encoded in. Most video file formats already use compression. You're not going to gain much by trying to compress an already compressed file. If it's a raw video format, then yes, you can use any number of similar techniques that zip programs use.

okay. i'm gonna develop compression program like the same Pied Piper wich compress files without archiving. Can i do this? can i make algorithm to do like this? i mean whether it possible from the point of view of physics and maths? sorry if i pretty stupid

Is it possible? Like I've already said, yes it is, it's already been done. And there are multiple algorithms already available. Huffman encoding is one example.

If what you're trying to do is create a brand new algorithm, then you'll most likely need an advanced math degree to do so.

Greetings, We have a very powerful and innovative data compression strategy that simply needs a programmer at this point interested in breaking through the lossless barrier...this project will involve computationally intensive C development (using GNU GMP multiprecision C open source libraries) and the implementation of our detailed step by step strategy, for which we have verified the approach with mathematicians. Anyone interested,...

Hi, I am told that Oracle has this "data compression" feature that allows you to store online data ina compressed format. This is different from archived data - you compress only that data which is infrequently accessed but is still available in the online database. I am interested in finding out an equivalent feature in DB2 UDB on LUW. If there exists one, how should I go about implementing this? If there is an alternative strategy to...

Hi Everybody, does anyone know if there is a good compression library available for the .NET-Framework? I want to compress a byte-Array (chunk from a file) for transmission over the internet to a client. On the client side I want to decompress the data and use it. Any recommendations for this sort of problem?

Hallo I wonder if there are any pure python implementations available/known for the zip (or any other) data compression... As far as I know python's zlib uses http://www.zlib.net/, which is written in C. Unfortunately this is not solution for me, because my target "only" has a python interpreter.... I have "googled" for a while, but I don't have found anything useful.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
