    Again, you are missing the point. Where did the CRF number of 18.5 come from? Did you test several parameters, and found what parameter gives lower bitrates than Beamr Video on thi…

    Note my previous reply on this issue: JPEGmini adaptively encodes each JPEG file to the minimum file size possible without affecting its original quality (the output size is of cou…

    Even if you compare #2 and #3 and they are similar quality, what would that prove? You could do #3 for a specific file after Beamr Video has processed it, but how would you know th…

    We don't have a constant bitrate feature. And the comparison you refer to was not done on content encoded with Beamr Video, but on content encoded with "Beamr-like" settings for an…

    Those are just preview files used for fast page load, but they are based on resized versions of the original and the JPEGmini version. You are welcome to download the original and …

    The decision Beamr Video makes are "smarter" than x264's CRF mode, since they are based on a perceptual quality measure we have developed. This quality measure is similar to the on…

    Beamr Video is not a bitrate-driven encoder - you cannot specify the bitrate of the output clip, so we cannot provide 2). We can only provide an output clip with the same quality a…

    Daiz hello, this is Dror from Beamr. The technologies we have developed, JPEGmini and Beamr Video, are definitely not "Snake Oil", and I don't think it would be good practice to ma…
