BLIND-COMPRESS(1)

NAME
blind-compress - Compress a video for network transmission

SYNOPSIS
blind-compress

DESCRIPTION
blind-compress applies a very fast and simple compression to video. The output is decompressed by blind-decompress(1), and despite a normal head, blind-decompress(1), is the only program that can use the output. blind-compress is designed to reduce the transferred data with minimal overhead when sending data between computers. It is recommended to combine blind-compress with lz4 -1.

REQUIREMENTS
blind-compress requires enough free memory to load two full frames into memory. A frame requires 32 bytes per pixel it contains.
