Not if it's a UK company.

"Custom magic algorithms" in this case being "off-the-shelf free software, using completely default parameters, that we've stolen and claimed is our magic algorithm".
You've just described the business model of a surprisingly large number of consultancies. One man's obvious is the next man's "magic". AFAICT businesses are happy to pay for this sort of thing, so I'm not sure who deserves blame here.

Adds more weight to Asimov's assertion that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
I was involved on some contract work with effectively the same type of technology that Raystream is touting. We didn't hit the kind of compression ratios that Raystream are talking about, but we were able to compress video drastically while still maintaining video quality. That is, the technology is possible, and I've seen it with my own eyes. With that said, the company I was contracting to, could have easily spun t…
Side note: The example streams are progressive download. I pulled one down and had a look. It uses AAC for the audio codec. They are not listed on VIA's licening page. (http://www.vialicensing.com/licensing/aac-licensees.aspx) As a comercial company, they should be hip to this kind of stuff.

Well informed and well put on all points. Side note: The example streams are progressive download. I pulled one down and had a look. It uses AAC for the audio codec.

Fine tuned in the sense then that it's beyond the defaults.
But it isn't, really. If you want to trade compression for speed, the presets listed on the top of the help page are far more effective. subq=6 Default is 7. This makes compression worse. partitions=all Higher than the default, but for negligible gain. This is only enabled on the slowest presets. 8x8dct The default. me=umh Higher than the default, for small gain. frameref=5 Default is 3; 5 gives small gain. bframes=3…
this kind of reminds me back the increase your MEMORY BY 8 fold MS-DOS "RAMBOOST" days.
Whoa - thanks for the nostalgia. I remember spending SO MUCH time trying to work around RAM limitations using all these techniques only to find the best you could get was the ability to trick a piece of software into thinking more RAM is there, but the performance hit made it a worthless practice.
Here's more details: http://www.timothysykes.com/2011/11/how-a-penny-stock-promot... The RAYS campaign was run by the same guys who did LEXG, the latter being one of the best pump and dumps last year-- ran from $1 to $10 in a short amount of time.
Glad you mentioned Tim here. He's one of about five truth-tellers in that world of scams. Great resource
