Thank you for the reply.

Still - I am probably misunderstood.

My problem is not the potential degradation of the still image.

My question is why codecs/ containers (mp4, avc etc.) do so
bad compression ratio on still image.
I mean - it actually is no movement, but just still image,
and still it needs 37 MB, although the "necessary" info would
be less than about 1 MB.
And related question:
If the codecs/ containers for some reason can't do better...
is then there a adequate way to do that?
It's like a kind of ... "presentation" (maybe I should take powerpoint ;-)

Greetings!
