Video compression efficiency comparison for a static image with mpeg4, h264, hevc and jpeg2000.

video thumbnail
With a 1920x1080 source in 4:2:0 format.

Method used:

For h264: ffmpeg -y -i $SOURCE -codec:v h264 -preset slow -vf format=pix_fmts=yuv420p -pixel_format yuv420p -qp $QUAL -an out.h264

For h265/hevc: ffmpeg -y -i $SOURCE -codec:v libx265 -preset slow -vf format=pix_fmts=yuv420p -pixel_format yuv420p -x265-params crf=$QUAL -an out.h265

For jpeg2000: ffmpeg -y -i $SOURCE -codec:v jpeg2000 -vf format=pix_fmts=yuv420p -pixel_format yuv420p -q:v $QUAL -an out.j2k

For mpeg4: ffmpeg -y -i $SOURCE -codec:v mpeg4 -preset slow -vf format=pix_fmts=yuv420p -pixel_format yuv420p -qmin $QUAL -qmax $QUAL -an out.mp4
