/prog/ - A cg archiver using x264

I made a CG packing program called Paku (https://github.com/lulalala/paku), a lossless image archive format well suits for CG packs when images are very similar to each other.

It has the following benefits:
1. It can directly extract images into jpeg format, saving user the time and space to do 7z -> bmp -> jpg.
2. It can be more compact than 7z, if lots of images are of the same size.
3. It is theoretically possible for to develop image viewer plugin to do random access of any images inside (7zip due to its design cannot achieve this).

It does have a few drawbacks:
1. it can only compress images of the same dimension.
2. it does not preserve image file name nor does it preserve sub folder structure.

I have tested with a 70mb 7zip cg pack, and paku compressed it to 60mb.

1. it can only compress images of the same dimension.
Expand all image to the largest dimensions, and fill the void with the last spanning image. The H.264 encoder will use a special mode which is very compact if nothing changes across images.

random access of any images inside
I have an idea. If you're making an extractor, add HTTP support so you can use a partial GET when someone only needs one or a few files. It totally blows having to download a 2 GB RAR or 7z when all you want are a few MB worth of images, especially when the server has a bandwidth limit.

now i switched to here because it can host exe files. http://goo.gl/72ljiH

It should be lossless, because I used x264 lossless settings, and have tested many files.
