Lossy Software

SX Fidelity Amplifier

Until SX Fidelity Amplifier, MP3s and streaming audio used lossy compression algorithms which negatively impact the quality of the audio source. SX Fidelity Amplifier improves the quality of the listening experience because it is the only product currently available that uses sophisticated algorithms to repair and replace portions of a digital audio file lost during lossy compression.

Tau Analyzer

This audio software is a program for determining the authenticity of musical CD, using the character of audiodata it contains, and predict its possible source is it an original studio records or a reconstruction from a lossy encoded data (for example, MP3 files). Tau Analyzer is a GUI based program which works directly with CD and has a some additional functions such as a Spectrum and Frequency analyzers, ATIP and ISRC data readers, etc.

FastCodec

This audio software - free fast lossless video codec designed for video capture. Another usage - video data archiving. Supported input and output formats are: YUY2/YUNV/V422/YUYV, YVYU, UYVY/Y422/UYNV, RGB24, RGB32. Codec has two compression modes: lossy (only for RGB input) and absolutely lossless. Preview decompression mode allows fast decompression with poor quality. Compression/decompression algorithm is relatively simple.

MSU Lossless Video Codec

Free high quality lossless video codec. It has the best compression ration among free lossless video codecs. Supports RGB, YUY2 and YV12. Allows to set up speed/compression ratio compromise by choosing appropriate motion compensation algorithm. Allows to set up loss/compression ratio compromises. Performs accurate denoisng in temporal and spatial domains during lossy compression.

EyeBatch

This graphics tool is a powerful and intuitive batch image processor. Supports most popular image formats with over 50 functions including resizing, converting, text and image overlays, full transparency support, EXIFsupport, Image slicing, autocrop, color levels, and more. All of this with extraordinary previewing capabilities. EyeBatch may be used for single or multiple image processing. Perfect for preparing images for the web and making thumbnails. This graphics software is categorized under graphics, utilities, image editor.

BetterJPEG

This graphics tool is a JPEG editor specifically designed to avoid recompression loss when editing and resaving photos. BetterJPEG does not recompress parts that didn't change. Features: lossless rotation, flip, lossless crop (free, fixed aspect, fixed size, predefined aspects,...), lossless date/EXIF info/text insertion (position, font, size, color, background, language, format, etc.), lossless red eye removal (anti-aliasing, darkening,...), and more..

Mobile Media Maker (PSP)

Watch video's and movies on your Playstation Portable. This software lets you convert movies and video's to your PSP and watch them in great quality in full screen landscape mode. A memorystick as small as 128 Mb is sufficient to store a full length feature film. You can watch your content on the go, from a postage stamp size memorystick. You can take any video (AVI, MPEG, DV) from any drive. Does direct DVD-to-PSP and TV from hard drive to PSP.

Infima Jpeg Optimization SDK

The technology that lies behind Infima Jpeg Optimization allows Infima to recompress and optimize JPEG files by an average of 30% without causing any addition loss in image quality. Infima Jpeg Optimization SDK introduces a new method for preprocessing and optimizing JPEG images before they are compressed without causing any loss in image quality which allows Infima to recompress JPEG files by an average of 30%

JPEG Lossless Resave Photoshop Plug-in

Better JPEG Lossless Resave plug-in for Adobe Photoshop is a tool designed to avoid recompression loss when editing and resaving JPEG images in Photoshop. The plug-in takes advantage of the fact that JPEG images consist of a number of small independent blocks and does not recompress blocks that don't have to be changed. The plug-in consists of two parts: Better JPEG Lossless Import and Better JPEG Lossless Export.

Image Info Toolkit

This graphics tool is an easy to learn, but powerful application that handles text information (known as IPTC-information) hidden within JPEG- and TIFF- image files. It enables you to add image information like caption, copyright, date, keywords etc. to a jpeg file without the need to compress the file again. It includes a batch function and tool to built and exchange individual hierarchical keyword catalogs.
