Børge<p>With jpg xl, can you choose how high quality you want to see the image, that is can you serve one file and different people can choose how they want to see it, according to how much data they are willing to download?</p><p>Could we do the same with video? Could we have just one torrent with one video file, and everyone could choose how much they want to download and still see the whole thing? 4k, 1080p, 720p, etc all in the same file, just choose how much you're willing to download?</p><p><a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/formats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>formats</span></a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/jpgxl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jpgxl</span></a></p>

petersuber<p>Update. I've had similar experiences with PDFs. Some search committees insist that letters be signed printouts on letterhead stationery scanned into PDFs. Now that I'm semi-retired and do all my work remotely, I explain that I don't have a printer or scanner. Some committees forgive this deficiency. But one didn't, and I had to do some back-and-forth emailing with a supportive colleague to get the letter in the right format.<br><a href="https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/110718374823742223" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fediscience.org/@petersuber/11</span><span class="invisible">0718374823742223</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Formats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Formats</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDF</span></a></p>
petersuber<p>Update. I just remembered a related peeve, this time about Microsoft Word. Grown ups with PhDs employed by a major university once asked me to re-submit a letter of recommendation I wrote for a colleague because it wasn't in MS Word. It had to be in Word to be "official" (their word).<br><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190316204410/https://plus.google.com/109377556796183035206/posts/ErCof6Q6C8K" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2019031620</span><span class="invisible">4410/https://plus.google.com/109377556796183035206/posts/ErCof6Q6C8K</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Formats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Formats</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/MSWord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MSWord</span></a></p>
petersuber<p>2/ I only post this because the misuse of "PDF" is a pet peeve. <br> <br>Sorry to spell out the obvious. PDF is a file format, not a paywall. It has nothing to do with paywalls. PDFs can be <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a>. </p><p>A related mistake is to use "the PDF" as a synonym for the version of record, as opposed to some other version, like a preprint or accepted author manuscript. Sorry. Any version can be a PDF, and the version of record can be any file format. </p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Diction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diction</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Formats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Formats</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDF</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ScholComm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScholComm</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Versions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Versions</span></a></p>
