I checked with Linius and you are correct with this post.
No original data is discarded
A reply from Linius
correct, your statement (mine) isn’t quite right. The virtual video file (vstub) produced is a fraction of 1% of the original file size - so certainly has benefits regarding video delivery, but that original file doesn’t disappear. It’s reassembled at the point of playback- though being streamed as data means Linius can apply a range of manipulations between source and screen.May I suggest you watch this video I put together: Watch “What is Video Virtualization?” on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/316980412?ref=em-share
The egg is egg on my face
Apologies to all
