Introducing the ‘mozjpeg’ Project

I'm actually disapointed. I hoped they developed a still image format from Daala. Daala has sigificant improments such as overlapping blocks, differently sized blocks and a predictor that works not only for luma or chroma, but for both.

One of our listed intern projects is exactly that. It's not a high priority project for the Daala team because we already have good royalty-free image codecs, but not video codecs. We have finite time, so we choose to attack what we see as the more important problem.

Developing a still image format from Daala is possible but not as trivial as it looks (the same can be said for the WebP work from WebM).

Is Daala anywhere close enough to being finished for this to even be feasible?
