Seconded. It seems like they basically just turned the frame-rate down, but it's not clear to me.

#4Is this a good example of information asymmetry?

Their proof is an unoptimized video vs an optimized video.
Their product is a standard recommended video optimization.
The people behind RayStream are either lying and/or don't understand what they are talking about.

#7It means the _normal.mp4 file was encoded in an absurdly high bitrate for no reason except to make their claim of 90% compression.

Read this page: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-x264.html
Each of the keys in the string has a value which is explained in the document.
Basically they're claiming something revolutionary, which in the end is just using the x264 encoder with the right fine-tuned options.

#9This is crazy... the website is a shell of an investment pitch. These guys need to get reported. Anyone want to make some money off the collapse.
Wow, their first 'contract' is with a company called edgefactory OMNIMEDIA, which I think is owned by martha stewart OMNIMEDIA?
edit: Wow, I just posted a link to this article and this thread on their facebook account and now the item has been deleted off their wall within minutes. everyone should let me know....

#10My guess, based on the man page for mencoder linked on the page where he got the mencoder options, you can encode a source video file to target video file aiming for either quality of frames, or speed of frames (per second). "Very high quality" options results in a video output of roughly 6 frames per second. Comparing the file size of the output file hoax.avi, its basically identical. So the revelation is that this company's miracle method is simply delivering video at 6fps.
If you've ever played a video game that was too much for your system, you've seen 6fps before, and you know it is intolerable.
That's my take on it, I really wish the author would have elaborated more on the result.
