This was a really good way to start a Monday. Truly fills a gap, where quality, compactness (size) and accessibility (human) intersect in a sweet spot. Made a quick comparison chart. Feel free to improve it and use it as a hook.

complexity	format	access	quality	compact	term	www
1	text	high	high	full	yes	yes
2	ansi	medium	high	high	yes	no
3	termframe	medium	high	high	no	yes
4	gif	no	lossy	medium	(no)	yes
5	mp4	no	lossy	low	(no)	yes

PS! The name's a bit long. 75% of UNIX cmds are five chars or less. What would K&R call it? Idea: shvg

Thanks!
Nice comparison chart.
The idea with shvg is clever and very K&R. Went with the longer name for clarity/discoverability. I'll stick with it for now, but will consider your suggestion in future.
Glad it made your Monday!
