what happened to Jan Sloot?
>"It is not about compression. Everyone is mistaken about that. The principle can be compared with a concept as Adobe-postscript, where sender and receiver know what kind of data recipes can be transferred, without the data itself actually being sent."
>In 1995, Sloot claimed to have developed a data encoding technique that could store an entire feature film in only 8 kilobytes. For comparison, even with the most modern techniques, a very low-quality video file normally requires 10,000 times more storage space, and a higher quality video file could require 175,000 times more data.
>On July 11, 1999 Sloot was found dead, in his garden[2] at his home in Nieuwegein of an apparent heart attack.[1] He died one day before an attractive deal was signed with Roel Pieper, former CTO and board member of Philips.
>The family consented to an autopsy, but no autopsy was performed. Sloot left behind his wife and three children.

We will never know, but I don't see how it wasn't a bunch of BS. A lot of clever people in the world not having replicated something like it in all this time? I don't think so.

im not a real techie, but what does this mean?

I'm someone who is normally eager to believe that these kind of people were assassinated because of what they knew, and maybe Sloot is one of those cases, but his technology was bogus.
Even if was not compression per-se, but was instead some method to `describe' content which is rebuilt by the client, encoding a full film in 8k is not possible, there's just too much data.
