Researchers have found that codebook capacity, rather than spatial resolution, is the primary factor influencing perceptual quality in hierarchical discrete video compression. An empirical study using MS-VQ-VAE models across various codebook sizes and resolutions demonstrated that increasing codebook capacity significantly improved quality, while changes in spatial resolution had a negligible impact. The models also showed superior performance compared to H.264 and H.265 codecs in terms of perceptual quality at matched or lower bitrates, suggesting that codebook size is a more critical design variable for scalable discrete tokenizers in generative video models.
