This is sort of aimed at Doom 9 or any one else’s who helps manage the sight but I have no real knowledge of this apart from what ive dug up in the last 20 minutes so any comments would be good like weather you would mined downloading another IE plug in
I thought that to relieve the bandwidth problem on Doom 9’s sight it might be a good idea to use jpeg 200 over jpeg. Especially for lots of picks like the codec comparison (the next one probably isn’t worth changing them now) I found some free softwear for doing this
an IE plug in at http://www.morgan-multimedia.com/JPEG2000/ about 300k but I don’t know if its available for anything else apart from windows
and a compressor at http://www.luratech.com/jpeg2000/
You have to go to smart compressor and download the lite version which is a 30 day trial but the blurb says the only features you lose after 30 days are the "qualitatively emphasized display spaces" i assume the ability to compress to a fixed quality, and the pass word protection of the files which we can live without.
Lurteck also have their own version of jpeg 200 called lurwave also compressible using Smart Compressor but they have browser plugin’s for IE and Netscape on win Mac and Linux
If people are willing to download the plugging obviously a one off big file jpeg 2000 file are supposed to be several times smaller than the equivalent jpeg file
On the bandwidth issue does the sight uses any kind of html compression their are several programs available to do this like Absolute HTML Compressor http://www.serpik.com/ahc/ Its still valid html at the end just rewritten more compactly.
Hope this helps and im not just wasting peoples time
;) :)
