Video-based AI memory library. Store millions of text chunks in MP4 files with lightning-fast semantic search.

GitHub - Olow304/memvid: Video-based AI memory library. Store millions of text chunks in MP4 files with lightning-fast semantic search. No database needed.

I stumbled upon that new use of mp4 format. Interesting.

Once again proving the addage that you can do literally fucking anything with ffmpeg
Wow. That's impressive.
So they use the MP4 container like a zip file and this is revolutionary? I mean, it's a nice stunt, but the developer seems pretty serious about it. What am I misunderstanding?
- Kinda but more like a db (ie you can search it) so instead of spinning a db for your ai you could have that store in that type of container …
  
  So like indexed text files? I don't understand what's the benefit of encoding text into videos.
  
  but there's sqlite for that. how is this more?
