Is this more efficient than putting all of that in say a 7z archive?

I'd expect video frames to be maximally efficient if you sorted the chunks by image similarity somehow.

Also isn't there a risk of losing data by doing this since for example h.265 is lossy?






h.265 is lossy but QR codes are redundant

Is the probability of lost data zero across eg. millions of documents?

I see there's a 30% redundancy per document, but I'm not sure every frame in a h265 file is guaranteed to have more than 70% of a qr code being readable. And if it's not readable, then that could mean losing an entire chunk of data.

I'd definitely calculate the probability of losing data if storing text with a lossy compression.
