Thanks for your explanation. I understand you. I still not agree with your methods of comparisons, especially in case of popularity of the codecs, but as I wrote above it's just my opinion )
Well, Procus' results do indeed put TTA in quite a different place! I only thought to do what is best anyway.
I think that the Squeezechart's comparison method is more correct.
How is it correct that you conclude that TTA is the fastest on a chart that only shows the slowest setting?
Thus, only TAK is faster, am I right?
No, only TAK is encoding faster and has a better compression ratio at the same time. Other codecs are encoding faster by sacrificing compression. I think you should pick your words more selectively.
Sorry, I didn't found the comparisons of encoding speed in your test results. Can I show your results in a table form?
Sure, here you go
