6 months agoAt its highest compression setting (zstd -T0 -19 --long
), it’s about the same as lzma in compression ratio (varies a bit from file to file though), but slightly faster to compress, and much much faster to decompress. Decompression speed is not significantly affected by the compression setting (though compression speed is) and is usually at least a few hundred MiB/s to 1G+
Ratios that extreme would probably only be seen in cases where the source video was really poorly compressed anyway, which is what the commenter probably experienced. I’ve had that happen before too. Expect more like half the size compared to H264, which is still pretty good
