> RED has specific patents which spell out how the compression is done

lol no they dont, they implement JPEG2000 verbatim in their cameras. Afair their first cameras even reused pre existing jpeg2000 codec chips, just rebranded and obfuscated.

What RED has patented is "any video camera at all using all available sensor technologies possible with any lossless compression" - thats an actual patent Apple licenses. They have funny patents like

7,830,967 2k+ resolution video camera recording in sRGB or rec709 color space. Main claim

"an image processing system configured to perform a pre-emphasis function on the digital raw image data, to compress the digital raw image data after performing the pre-emphasis function such that the digital raw image data remains substantially visually lossless upon decompression, and to store the compressed digital raw image data in the memory device at a rate of at least about 23 frames per second, wherein the pre-emphasis function comprises a curve defined by the function y=(x+c)^g, where 0.01 g1 and c is an offset."

is just rec709 gamma correction math

8,174,560 2k+ resolution camera that records at a 6:1 or more compression ratio.

Dont worry, they also have one for lossy compression US9245314B2 describing any camera using any sensor and any compression.

"The 'Family Affair' hitmaker will take to the stage during the NFL showpiece game on Sunday (13.02.22) alongside the likes of Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar and although over 100 million people are expected to tune in to watch, she has confirmed none of the artists receive a fee for the prestigious gig, but she knows long term the appearance will generate a lot of opportunities."

Back in the day, I fired up an old Amiga 020 with a video board - so it wasn't a latest version. Still smoother and more responsive than Windows XP.

false memories
Amiga will take couple of seconds to open every single drawer and slowly load and draw icons one by one, and then when you drag windows it drags wireframes like win3. On a dual core 2GHz PowerPC, 2GB ram, pcie Radeon GPU and ssd. 2021 released AmigaOS 3.2! https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I think the abuse might have come later after Stefan Etienne reaction to the critique. HE is the asshole who started by calling everyone saying anything about him virgin loser nolifes, very angry nerds, jealous, or racists. His attitude for 2 years afterwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Lets not forget - dude promoted scams like "wireless antistatic wristband" and refused to correct any mistakes.
