Hi Hans,

some days ago (after the patch from https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/103011.html), I included two mp4 files in a PDF document.

They where so generated, that they could be compressed in a zip file from 254MB into less than 25MB. The resulting PDF file was less than 25MB.

With the current latest, compression for multimedia objects is disabled. The same PDF document takes about 254MB.

I don’t know whether this is intended. In that case, could we have an option to compress embedded multimedia objects?

indeed intended because zipping already compressed files makes no sense

(I know that those mp4 files are crappy, but I can’t control the crap others generate.) i'll add 'compress' to the options
