Pretty much what I'm saying is that PNG is using ancient technology that is outdated, and that there is a lot of room for improvement.  Ideally, sometime in the future, a new image format should be created using up to date technology.

That's just me renaming stuff so that you know where it came from (source.png), and muxing the raw video (.264) into a format that you can actually play back (.mkv).

The videos are just there as examples of newer compression techniques (that is currently being used in video compression, but not yet in image compression) beating PNG.
