This fails miserably if you're not using Intel x86 architecture. And the last time I heard, Gnome was not Intel x86-centric (it would be even wrong to call it "Intel-centric", since Intel makes ARM and Itanium processors which share little with x86 -- ok, Itanium does support executing x86 code, but nevertheless). > I have a 700 MB encoding of Titanic ...

Let me describe very simple algorithm. - set "count" to zero - for every input byte, increase "count" by 1 - output "count" This is a lossy compression algorithm which indeed saves some of the original data properties (i.e. a number of bytes), yet, the quality of video you might get with it is VERY bad, even though anything can be "lossy-compressed" to few bytes with this "algorithm". ;) So, your point here seems moot, since subjective feel of quality degradation is more than important that simple "compression" ratio (700MB/Titanic :).
