SIF1 - is a free universal video codec. It's a
multimedia compressor/decompressor which registers
into Windows collection of multimedia drivers and
integrates into any application using DirectShow and
Microsoft Video for Windows. It's based on the
original proprietary algorithm of compression.

Background.

The SIF1 project was launched in the autumn of 2000,
with the major goal of finding new approaches for
video compression. We developed a new class of
algorithms for image compression. Its working title
is "SIF-transform".
This class of algorithms occupies the intermediate
position between traditional algorithms and algorithms
that divide source image in set of objects. In SIF-
similar codecs, compression is put into effect at the
expense of image to the set of basic elements -
resampling patterns. During several years, we worked
on different compression engines based on SIF
