Two research papers introduce novel generative video coding techniques that significantly reduce bitrate while maintaining high visual quality. ReGenVC achieves ultra-low bitrates by compressing video into a compact bitstream of frame data, pose keypoints, and metadata, and reconstructs it using a distilled diffusion transformer. GenVC, another approach, trains a video diffusion model from scratch specifically for compression, employing a global-to-local hierarchy and Adaptive Score Distillation to ensure coherent motion and high perceptual quality.
