TBZ Archive's known limitation — slower compression/decompression than gzip — is resolved when converting to Extended ZIP Archive, which offers better compression than standard ZIP using modern algorithms. The TBZ Archive source uses lossy encoding. The Extended ZIP Archive output uses lossy encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient.
