The new, standard JPEG-XS codec support in ffmpeg 8.1
--enable-libsvtjpegxs seems to have gone a bit under the radar.
JPEG-XS is high-lighted as a lightweight image and video compression
standard (ISO/IEC 21122) designed specifically for applications
requiring high visual quality, ultra-low latency, and low computational
complexity.
Unlike standard compression formats (like HEVC or JPEG) that focus on
maximum compression ratio, JPEG-XS prioritizes keeping content "visually
lossless" while reducing bandwidth, making it ideal for professional
video production, IP transport, and real-time streaming.
JPEG-XS providing compression ratios up to 10:1 while maintaining high
video quality. The codestreams can be encapsulated in several standard
container formats to allow for transportation and storage: MXF, MPEG-2
(MPEG-TS), MP4, HEIF and more.
