ffmpeg 8.1 with SVT-JPEG-XS support
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. https://www.phoronix.com/news/FFmpeg-Merges-JPEG-XS https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/SVT-JPEG-XS https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/svt-jpeg-xs

feel free to install dev files for it and see how it performs? :) Not sure if ffmpeg set to autodetect it or not by default ... Also, welcome back!

It seems that you need --enable-libsvtjpegxs for ffmpeg to puck it up(default us no,as far as I can see in ffmpeg's configure script) I installed it locally, will try to rebuild ffmpeg/cingg around this. (32bit supposedly not supported but at least it builds)
Also, welcome back!

Mmmm. So far I have just tried to install ffmpeg 8.1 from Packman on Tumbleweed to see if they have enabled JEPE-XS support. But unhappily there is currently several dependency issues so ffmpeg 8.1 could not be launched.

I think you also need this patch for ffmpeg 8.1: https://github.com/OpenVisualCloud/SVT-JPEG-XS/blob/main/ffmpeg-plugin/7.1/0... I tricked build to ignore asm primitives, and one frame at 1080p come out at 6 megabytes (444p12, reencode from prores mov)
Not sure if ffmpeg set to autodetect it or not by default ...
