Comment What about human perception. (Score 1) 412

I imagine its possible that a newer compression system could better choose what data was eliminated (while using the same compression format) based on a better understanding of how a human would perceive the outcome. Clearly, if this was the idea behind new compression settings, it did not work at the bit-rates the BBC tried. Not all compression systems (even ones that use the same format of compression) are created equal.
