I love compression, I love ffmpeg and I love more performance, but…
FFV1 is ffmpegs own, old lossless compression format for archival purposes. It is not particularly bad, but it is also not particularly good or modern.
Yeah, it’s used quite widely for archival purposes. It’s the only open-source lossless codec available for HBR HD+ video afaik. Digital archives, Library of Congress, Movie Studios, production companies…etc.
Is FFV1 even used for anything? First time I am hearing about this codec and I have some experience in this area.
