Great job with introducing us to snow Tommy Carrot,
the codec is simply STATE OF THE ART!
I made some tests with a quantizer of 6 and I cant believe how great the output is.
Not sure yet but v4mv does provide a more detailed picture but introduces some artifacts like ringing around objects,and maybe stronger colour mismatches. So at this quantizer I prefer to avoid it.
I have a videoclip from a sattelite source that is very difficult to compress, and snow managed to give an excellent picture at 480 Kbps!!!!!! Previously I would have to go as high as 600kbps to get a "watchable" picture . (264 codecs are not taken in to account, I am sure it will do well with atemes codec as well).
And with one pass. Imagine it being more mature and having a two pass option!!!! It will easilly surpass all other (current) codecs!!!!
