    That you can fit decent quality movie clips into a 95kb file. Original article here

    The company must be having problems, because their CEO is looking for a new job. Why else would they have a link to her resume right on the main page?

    I bet all this hype is just a hoax to get her a new job. Heh.

    Anybody compare them yet? Too bad they don't have a comparison with ogg vorbis. :(

    FYI, I recompressed the original TIFFs that an AC pointed to below, with PMView. I got a 3.4KB image at 4% quality and saw almost exactly the same result. Maybe GIMP is totally kickass, but I'd wager that you just ran into one of the quirks of JPEG encoding, that it may perform better with a lower quality image, such as the already processed KTT image. If anything, that may just reflect positively on the efficiency of the KTT codec.

    Of course I wish to thank Mr. Gallagher and Slashdot for posting this article, and to everyone for their interest.

    To answer some questions posted here:

    In the still compression demo, we use JPEG for both so that we didn't have to post a plug-in to display only 3 pictures. As the demonstration expands, we'll probably add a decoder application.

    We ZIP the movies so that we could avoid file association issues. However, if you ZIP the ktm files, you will be able to compress them about 9% more. For speed, on the on-line demo we currently don't use a general entropy encoder. We do have a version that uses adaptive Huffman encoding, but it's slower.

    For the still compression demo, we placed the originals at: http://www.kttech.com/StillCompression/originals.z ip .

    Finally, for Mr. Gallagher's question. I'd only like a camera on my cell-phone provided I can TURN IT OFF. The last thing I'd like anyone to see (except for my wife) is how I look early in the morning :)

  6. No common sense at k-tech by SanLouBlues · · Score: 5, Funny · on KT-Tech Challenges Nancy and MPEG-4 for Wireless Video

    A look at k-tech's still image compression shows them touting the advantages of their image format over jpegs. With jpegs of what both formats look like. They aren't the best marketers.
