RE: filmscanners: (anti)compression?
It turns out that it is impossible to create lossless compression scheme
that does not cause some files to expand in size. A set of random files
always expands. There is no way to encode the random information that does
not take up at least as much space as the original file. Because of this,
any image that contains lots of random noise tends to compress much less
than a high quality image with little noise.
