  1. This is huge for MPEG4 by William+Tanksley · · Score: 5, Informative

    I don't believe nobody has posted about MPEG4. This is very interesting for that -- film using this, and you can encode into MPEG4 format with /huge/ compression almost automatically. The hard part about MPEG4 is object detection; this makes that almost free.
