Daala progress update
Interesting to see they're also applying Daala to still images. It's a very different set of constraints and optimizations than video.My first instinct was to wonder how it compared to Bellard's recently featured BPG image format [1], which achieves impressive quality at low sizes. Turns out you can check this by selecting "HEVC" in Xiph's image comparison, since that's the core method employed by BPG.[1] http://bellard.org/bpg/
