The results: find out on your own ;) I had planned to change the presentation somewhat but certain events (forum problems and such) prevented me from completing this for the release. I plan to eventually supply an updated version of the comparison."

Why use Jpeg? by Nutt · 2003-05-04 15:58 · Score: 5, Insightful

Along a few of the pictures he says along the lines of "jpeg helped this codec. In this one it hurt this codec.." Granted he probably wanted to save bandwidth but why couldnt he post zipped up uncompressed files to download? Also, I think a single image with side by side comparisons of parts of each scene would be nice as I cant flip back and forth between all the pictures and remember what I liked and disliked about them all.
