Can you include .3MF to the list of re-compressible formats?

[davidsplash]

in response to my anaswer to my last post what i was trying to say we dont want to see new formats that cannot be repaired. should have made my post clearer but when using android mobile not easy.

[davidsplash]

one format i think we would like to see is sit and sitx decompression.

one i would like to see is .afa
A format that compresses and doubly encrypt the data (AES256 and CAS256) avoiding brute force attacks, also hide files in a AFA file. It has two ways to safeguard data integrity and subsequent repair of the file if has an error (repair with AstroA2P (online) or Astrotite (offline)). The speed of compression / decompression is superior to other systems by making extensive use of multiple processors

one i do like a lot and use is jar the successor to ARJ really good compression rates here

I dont think David reads our posts too much :)

@spwolf:

better voice your opinions because if you do not, it might be a lot of time before your “wish” is taken into consideration…

Maybe you should open a poll?

Anyway Yes, please - :D

Not sure what you mean with these existing formats (conversion?)-
zip

setup.exe/data1.cab
tar/tar.gz/tgz/tar.bz2
rar

like this? :)

Yes. I like that.
Some of them could do with better description though.

E.G. Just what is meant by <data segmentation=“” and=“” reordering=“”>in terms of a compression format :confused:</data>

[spwolf]

i will let eugene explain that… you can also vote, add and comment there!

[spwolf]

one problem there is that anyone can do multiple votes, meaning dont rate everything for the sake of rating, just rates one you feel really passionated about!

[spwolf]

thing was, we didnt want you have to login to vote

[TBGBe]

Err, who is “eugene”?

Note to self - must show spwolf the “Edit” button sometime!

[spwolf]

i hate editing as you wont get email notification with edited parts :).

Eugene is our compression engineer, working on actual format (same guy did patchbeam engine, rar speed improvements, wz jpeg decompression, etc).

[davidsplash]

i was just pointing out features in existing formats that would be nice to have included in pa. why right a new format unless you want a format that includes everything.

I apologise its very difficult using android and your forumn nearly impossible

@spwolf:

You guys did patchbeam in-house?

Nice. For some reason I had assumed it was technology bought/licensed from a 3rd party.

re-compression… if you compress them as they are, you will gain nothing… if you extract and compress them, between 15 and 50% gain in compression is possible.

[Mameluke]

I would most likely want to see the following in this order if possible please :)

1. Internal and External (RAR style) recovery record (with choice of percentage just like RAR).
2. JPEG compression (got many pictures that are quite large)
3. Strong Encryption with ability to encrypt file names (Like Winrar and 7z)

Thank you :D

would love to see a format that actually can compress media files better than we have at present. At the moment most media formats are donme by several formats i would like one format to do them all e.g wave mp3 and jepg format compression all in one archive format at present i have to use several formats in order to get the best comopression for each media format like sound or images

[davidsplash]

a format that preserves data like who made it and what version of the archive format made it. usefull for people who need this info

[By-Tor]

I’d still like to see wz jpeg compression for zipx.

[spwolf]

@By-Tor:

I’d still like to see wz jpeg compression for zipx.

it is still eventual possibility… however, while we researched jpeg compression last year, our first version was slightly better compressing than WZ Jpeg and 3x faster on dual core machine… and that could be done even better with 20% better compression than wz and up to 3x faster speed on dual core machines :).

so which one would you want? :)
