  2. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    There are 2 N such files possible. Together with F, this makes 2 N +1 files that all compress into one of the 2 N files of length N. But 2 N is smaller than 2 N +1, so by the pigeonhole principle there must be some file of length N that is simultaneously the output of the compression function on two different inputs. That file cannot be ...

  3. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    The acceptable trade-off between loss of audio quality and transmission or storage size depends upon the application. For example, one 640 MB compact disc (CD) holds approximately one hour of uncompressed high fidelity music, less than 2 hours of music compressed losslessly, or 7 hours of music compressed in the MP3 format at a medium bit rate ...

  4. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:

  5. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

    When data is compressed, its entropy increases, and it cannot increase indefinitely. For example, a compressed ZIP file is smaller than its original, but repeatedly compressing the same file will not reduce the size to nothing. Most compression algorithms can recognize when further compression would be pointless and would in fact increase the ...

  6. List of archive formats - Wikipedia

    This means that compressed archives with the UC2 file extension can hold almost 1 million files. .uca PerfectCompress [17] Windows: Windows: No Based on PAQ, RZM, CSC, CCM, and 7zip. The format consists of a PAQ, RZM, CSC, or CCM compressed file and a manifest with compression settings stored in a 7z archive. .uha UHarc DOS/Windows: DOS/Windows ...

  7. Audio file format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format

    In a lossless compressed format, however, the music would occupy a smaller file than an uncompressed format and the silence would take up almost no space at all. Lossless compression formats include FLAC, WavPack, Monkey's Audio, ALAC (Apple Lossless). They provide a compression ratio of about 2:1 (i.e. their files take up half the space of PCM).

  8. Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel–Ziv–Markov_chain...

    In non-LZMA2 streams, lc must not be greater than 8, and lp and pb must not be greater than 4. In LZMA2 streams, ( lc + lp ) and pb must not be greater than 4. In the 7-zip LZMA file format, configuration is performed by a header containing the "properties" byte followed by the 32-bit little-endian dictionary size in bytes.

  9. Deflate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEFLATE

    Using two of these chips, the AHA363-PCIe board can process Deflate at a rate of up to 5.0 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) using the two channels (two compression and two decompression). The AHA364-PCIe variant is an encode-only version of the card designed for out-going load balancers and instead has multiple register sets to allow 32 independent virtual ...
