What the fuck yo. It.. just keeps going.
I can imagine a massive reduction in bandwith by using this instead of traditional gifs might give GAF servers a better chance. I guess?

Why did you have to remind me of the existence of this
To be fair, everything looks better than youtube.

Can webm files be made to automatically loop like gifs?
That was legit terrifying.

By the gods. My mind is being blown right now. The only drawback that I can think of to this and gfycat is that it's not possible to embed

So then aside from limited compatibility since its a relatively new standard what are the drawbacks of webm?
Someone do Fooly Cooly with this! Please!!!
I hope EviLore decides to make .webm embedding a GAF priority.

WTF is this.
They are embedded on 4chan, don't see why that can't be done here or anywhere else.
How do you make webm files?
By E3, please....
Much more complicated to decode than a GIF. Might be a problem on mobile devices.
With great power comes great responsibility. Are you ready Dennis?
Hahaha. For the prices Apple charges EVERY format ever should work on the damn things.

You can toggle looping in the right click menu (on 4chan at least).
uh dont click this one at work, but i'm more linking it for just how high quality it is

At the same time .webm has much smaller file sizes for the same content, which is a godsend for mobile devices.

If this is implemented, then it'll help during E3. You won't have to have crazy huge gifs, but instead these webms.

Really? I don't know how to use 4chan but I don't see any of them being played automatically which is what I meant.
like this for example:
It automatically plays here on neogaf. I have yet to see this on 4chan
EDIT: Nvm I see that it works on what I guess is the comments section of 4chan. click the webM and it starts to play. AWESOME.

Huh, there's weird shuddering (or whatever the term is) that I don't remember from the original.
I guess the disadvantage of these is that they dont loop
The entire Man of Steel trailer (2+ minutes in 1080p resolution) as a .webm

Didn't work in chrome on the iphone either
Plus you get the price is right sound to make it that much better.
1) Right Click
2) Select Loop
3) ...

.gifs don't play automatically on 4chan either, you have to click on them and then they expand and start playing. So presumably .webm's also don't play automatically because that was a choice they made, not because they can't play automatically.
