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 asĀ 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. https://www.phoronix.com/news/FFmpeg-Merges-JPEG-XS https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/SVT-JPEG-XS https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/svt-jpeg-xs
