General response (R1, R2, R3)
Dear Reviewers, we thank you for taking the time to provide valuable feedback. Below we address the main issues raised. Its performance depends on our ability to predict the distribution over future frames with low entropy. We will emphasize these aspects more in a revised version.

NVRC: Neural Video Representation Compression
Recent advances in implicit neural representation (INR)-based video coding havedemonstrated its potential to compete with both conventional and other learning-based approaches. With INR methods, a neural network is trained to overfit avideo sequence, with its parameters compressed to obtain a compact representationof the video content. However, although promising results have been achieved,the best INR-based methods are still out-performed by the latest standard codecs,such as VVC VTM, partially due to the simple model compression techniquesemployed. In this paper, rather than focusing on representation architectures, whichis a common focus in many existing works, we propose a novel INR-based videocompression framework, Neural Video Representation Compression (NVRC),targeting compression of the representation. Based on its novel quantization andentropy coding approaches, NVRC is the first framework capable of optimizing anINR-based video representation in a fully end-to-end manner for the rate-distortiontrade-off. To further minimize the additional bitrate overhead introduced by theentropy models, NVRC also compresses all the network, quantization and entropymodel parameters hierarchically.
iFlow: Numerically Invertible Flows for Efficient Lossless Compression via a Uniform Coder
It was estimated that the world produced $59 ZB$ ($5.9 \times 10^{13} GB$) of data in 2020, resulting in the enormous costs of both data storage and transmission. Fortunately, recent advances in deep generative models have spearheaded a new class of so-called neural compression algorithms, which significantly outperform traditional codecs in terms of compression ratio. Unfortunately, the application of neural compression garners little commercial interest due to its limited bandwidth; therefore, developing highly efficient frameworks is of critical practical importance. In this paper, we discuss lossless compression using normalizing flows which have demonstrated a great capacity for achieving high compression ratios. As such, we introduce iFlow, a new method for achieving efficient lossless compression. We first propose Modular Scale Transform (MST) and a novel family of numerically invertible flow transformations based on MST. Then we introduce the Uniform Base Conversion System (UBCS), a fast uniform-distribution codec incorporated into iFlow, enabling efficient compression.
