WHY is png the default for capturing images for Movist? When would I not want to capture in jpeg?



I don’t know.

But I believe it is also PNG by default in VLC as well. I actually wish other players like GOM would have PNG as an option. It’s not too mised because GOM let’s you set JPEG quality.

In general, however, lossy image compression on top of already “lossily-compressed” images just doesn’t sit well with me, especially since the latter was compressed with moving picture optimization in mind and not still images.
