rillian<p>The Xiph.Org Foundation has for many years hosted a collection of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/lossless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lossless</span></a> audio and video test clips to support the compression research community.</p><p>Unfortunately, that server may be going away soon.

For clips originating in yuv, ffv1 or lossless vp9 compression is probably a good choice. (Uncompressed is usually best for benchmarking, but people can extract on their own.) Downloading multi-GB files is easier than it used to be. However, the highest quality for some clips are directories of png, tiff, or exr files. Not sure what to do with those. Tar them up? Will archive.org fall over if I upload 20,000 files as part of the same object?</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a></p>

Next, I compared the good and bad files in Hex Fiend. The good ones had an "lh1" signature in the header, while the bad ones had an "lh5."

Okay, clearly they were using different compression methods. But how could I extract the lh5 ones?

Googling turned up this Keka issue on GitHub --
github.com/aonez/Keka/issues/1 -- which mentions a different problematic Atari ST LZH file on Discmaster and how dexvert handles it fine.

Interesting discovery today ... Came across a cache of 20 issues of "Express Times", an electronic newsletter for sysops running BBS Express! ST software on the Atari ST.

But all 20 issues were .LZH archives. I tried to open them on my Mac using Keka, but only about half of them worked.

So I booted Hatari and used UNLZH, but it also began throwing CRC errors for several files.
