A few words more: Yes, everything you're seeing comes out of an executable of only 177 kilobytes size. Download it here: http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/parties/2007/breakpoint07/demo/fr-041_deb...

The secret behind all this is procedural content generation. in a nutshell, instead of storing a movie as-is we're storing a certain number of mathematical formulas for image and audio manipulation as well as the "recipe" how to apply those small bits of code in a way that what you see comes out. And while it's running your computer's graphics card cares for the actual displaying ot the world, just like in modern 3D games. Formulas+recipe are of course way smaller than the end result, and with a few additional sprinkles of magic compression fairy dust we get down to under 200 kilobytes, which is way less than one single high quality image of this show would take.

This of course means, no, we don't have any magic technology that can compress videos down to that size, but the video has to be authored in the way described above. Manually. With, like, lots of work involved. Making this gem took us all more than two years of hobby part time work _after_ we had five years of experience with this kind of technology.

  • EY 177KB!!! Das ist nicht mal 1/5 MB. Allein schon der Soundtrack frisst normalerweise mehr. Und dazu dann aber noch nen 7 minütiges kinoreifes, grafisch brilliantes Video in HD. Alles in 177KB!!! Wie geht sowas??? Das ist unglaublich!

    Demnächst schickt man sich Blu-Ray HD Filme per Email zu, weil die dann nur noch 5 MB Gross sind. Und zwar mit Extras, Making of und ohne Qualitätsverlust...

  • @DavidbeeSuper Wie gesagt, lies die Beschreibung zum Video... GANZ so einfach ist es dann doch nicht :)

  • @DavidbeeSuper Von GTA San Andreas gibt es eine ISO (CD) die mit dem kgb archiver auf 64 KB gepackt wurde hat biei mir 8 Stunden gedauert, bis es entpackt war

  • @Rhodeni iiiiiis richtich, Junge.

  • Kann es ein dass sich diese executable relativ gross ins RAM setzt? Hatte da schon mal so ne Miniapp die dann aber 500 MB im RAM belegte. Wie auch immer, so sollte programmiert werden, das ist effizient.

  • Ja, das Teil zieht knapp 600MB RAM weg, während es läuft :)

  • So genial, ich liebe deren musik! Die Algorithmen die hinter sowas stecken, muessen kopfzerbrechend sein :( Unglaublich das deren songs auch nur aus Prozedual generiertem Inhalt entstehen :O

  • Very impressive.

    Creativity and technical challenge, all in 177 kilo...

    And i really liked the show ;)

  • realy great and nice work ;)
