Why fork? Why not work with Ilari on making this part of the official JPC-RR version?

New version out. Uses significantly improved cjpeg, some improvements to jpegoptim, and some tweaks to crushedjpeg wrapper. This should provide more quality at lower file sizes.

Okay, good to hear. Also, the various tools in Crushed JPEG are slated to come out with new releases in the near future with significant improvements (seeing chatter of 5-10% improvements). So if this is a minor improvement now, it'll be a significant improvement then.

feos, in your opinion, are these images better quality than the ones we are using for publication? (Is the quality per size ratio higher?)

New version uploaded. This now uses DCT float and 4:4:4. I'm noticing significantly higher visual quality at lower quality settings. I also fixed a bug in cjpeg misparsing the dct setting. Idiots left out {} in one place. Listen carefully programmers, even though {} is optional in most languages, NEVER LEAVE THEM OUT. Because of this, batch.exe now also outputs from 50 and up. fsvgm777: Want to look at Metroid Prime Pinball again? May get even higher quality at smaller size.

Does cjpeg have an option to set subsampling to 4:4:4? Without it no matter how I try, the loss is visible against GIMP, even if the file size/quality is greater than GIMP's.
That should be an option for convert, part of ImageMagick, not cjpeg. If you can find the correct parameter for it, I'll add it. Edit: Actually now that I think about it, cjpeg should be the one to set it, not sure if there's an option, we'll have to look for it.

Have we tested this against MozJpeg? https://blog.mozilla.org/research/2014/07/15/mozilla-advances-jpeg-encoding-with-mozjpeg-2-0/
If you'd look at what this does and what MozJpeg is, you'll see your question makes no sense.

Okay feos, you can redownload http://nach.tasvideos.org/crushedjpeg.7z It includes batch.exe which you can drag and drop multiple images onto, and it will create for each image compressions in intervals of 5 from 60 to 95.

That says to me "crushedjpeg is not a command, program, or a batch file"...
You have to put it in the same directory as crushedjpeg.exe and run it from there. I'll look into adding a massive batch program too.
