How good Is video compression on a completely black video feed? Like would the size of very long video with no actual video information approach the size of a png at the same resolution?
yt-dlp it and let us know
>>107829042x264 encodes a black 1080p30 video at about 8kbps
>>107829042Why ask a question when you can spend 5 minutes and actually test it with different codecs?
All video codecs have more in common with JPEG than PNG. They use frequency tables. Therefore they always struggle with flat colors because they literally can't do them perfectly and even doing them approximately maxes out the filesize especially on AVC which does not have vairable-sized let alone content-aware blocks.
>>107829407isn't a flat color a low-frequency information? The boundaries between them aren't but that shouldn't matter when literally the whole frame is 1 color.
