Wow this JPEG-HT is pretty incredible. I just did a couple of tests.
Rendering a 1920x1080 EXR sequence I have on a timeline, 14252 frames, no Color or other effects, reading/writing from/to local NVMe drive:
- To .JPH JPEG-2000 HT, 10-bit, Lossless Compression:
- Average speed: 245 FPS, average file size: 1.80MB
- To .DPX RGB 10-bit:
- Average speed 115 FPS, average file size: 7.91MB
JPH rendered at twice the speed, and produced less than one quarter the file size! That's pretty amazing.
Only problem I have is.. I don't have any other software that can read these files
Fusion Studio can't, even via FFMpeg, and that's the software I'd want to use a file sequence to interchange with. Premiere Pro can't either, not that I really care about that.
Oh well, looks to be a pretty amazing codec for those who can use it!
