I would love to see comparisons with AV1 on very low bitrates.

Return of the 8MB Shrek encodes?

Shrek 1 at 8.34MB including audio.. insane

Video resolution: 128x72, hahah. Late 90s RealPlayer postage stamp video is back! To its credit, that whole movie is probably smaller than RealPlayer itself was.

I once watched an entire movie (around 90 mins) on a Nokia 6303. This reminds me of that

There's a 64MB game boy advance cartridge with shrek on it [1]. Looks pretty horrible [2]. But the GBA only has 16KB fast / 256KB slow RAM, and a 16MHz CPU.

I love this, hope to see a AV2 version at 8MB

6MB should be enough for everyone!

Almost half of the file is audio, so you're not saving as much.

Hopefully audio codecs will progress as well.

I noticed that too. When I tried extreme screen recording compression with AV1 audio became a noticeable part of the bottleneck.

Is opus being used for the audio or it's not the solution for extreme lossy compression?
