So, as I understand, you describe the structure of your data in an SDL and then the compressor can plan a strategy on how to best compress the various part of the data ? Honestly looks incredible. Could be amazing to provide a general frame

Which is exactly why it has a bad rep. In most people mind BitTorrent = illegal download.

I can imagine a few things : 1. BitTorrent has a bad rep. Most people still associate it with just illegal download. 2. It requires slightly more complex firewall rules, and asking the network admin to put them in place might raise some eye

In terms of pure compression ratio AV1 compete mostly with h265/HVEC in most cases. It does perform pretty well for low bitrate and specific situation like synthetic noise, but h265 is usually better for higher bitrate situations. Hope
