At4J provides Java support for reading and creating Zip and Tar archives. It also comes with third-party compression libraries for bzip2 and LZMA support. At4J supports more Zip capabilities and compression methods than Java's built-in Zip classes, such as Unix file metadata and bzip2 compression.
Xvid is an open-source research project focusing on video compression and is a collaborative development effort. All code is released under the terms of the GNU GPL license.
The Xvid video codec implements MPEG-4 Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile standards. It permits compressing and decompressing digital video in order to reduce the required bandwidth of video data for transmission over computer networks or efficient storage on CDs or DVDs. Due to its unrivalled quality Xvid has gained great popularity and is used in many other GPLed applications, like e.g. Transcode, MEncoder, MPlayer, Xine and many more.
The JasPer Project is an open-source initiative to provide a free software-based reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard (i.e., ISO/IEC 15444-1).
The Lempel-Ziv Markov-chain Algorithm is a very effective and relatively fast compression technique used in the ‘7z’ format of the 7-Zip archiver. This Package provides provides implementations of LzmaInputStream and LzmaOutputStream that interact with underlying LZMA encoders and decoders running in separate threads.
Der Hersteller der Kompressionssoftware StuffIt hat ein Patent zugesprochen bekommen, durch das sich JPEG-Bilder stärker komprimieren lassen. Hierbei soll es keinen Qualitätsverlust geben und der Patentinhaber spricht von einer Platzersparnis von bis zu 30 Prozent.
