Support NeoGAF

[PotionBleue]

Why is the brightness low during the first second when I open them with Firefox?

 

[Ivan]

This is awesome, we should upgrade gaf immediately .

There is loop option, but can it be default like on gifs?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

These are so beautiful,

I'd gladly Abandon the GIF Format for this.

 

[ponpo]

This seems like a big step towards getting rid of shitty framerate marketing materials and moving towards 60fps as an expectation for games.

30 then 60

How resource heavy is it? It seems to be running like silk on Chrome. I can only assume this is some sort of magic or witch craft. Either way it's incredible.

No more than, say, watching videoes on youtube. Any modern computer has hardware acceleration that should be utilized when watching these.

Ok this one is smooth.

That's some magical interpolation in these webms.

Hope he creates a separate script and doesn't roll it into his bundle.

Why the last one has no sound? Wasted opportunity.

Would it be possible to stream live content in WebM? Twitch could make serious bank.

I truly didn't think, in 2014, this would happen to me.

 

[Thursday War]

this is amazing. need dat script asap.

 

[Truespeed]

VP8/VP9 for the win. The only browsers that support VP8/VP9 are Firefox and Chrome right now.

Wow, more 60 FPS games please.

Who is that? Researching the asian culture.

 

[xemumanic]

WebM (or I think WebP to be more specific given the use case) is clearly better than .GIF.

But vs H.264, oh hells no.

 

[Lebon14]

webp would be better since it's an image format instead of video so embedding and auto-looping would be easier

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webp

uses the same compression algorithm so quality should be comparable

I add my voice to this possible solution.

The only thing is that, as far as I know, if you save said picture to your hdd, well, Windows' default picture viewing software doesn't support. XNView and other software does though (and is multiplatform too).

is this reality

I am not getting any sound, any idea? (Ubuntu + Chrome 33.0.1750.152)

This is the first time I have seen Bayonetta in 60fps, now my beloved PS3 copy is ruined.

Some don't have sound.

4chan doesn't allow audio on .webm's. Moot's not a fan of screamers, especially when people auto-enable images and files like this.

You aren't supposed to. At least not for the ones being posted in this thread. 4chan is trying to replace .GIF on their site, and thus, no sound.

 

[ponpo]

DOA .webms (lol nws)

Too bad these don't work on mobile...

Spoiler

Not on my iPad+Mercury Browser anyway

They are beautiful! I wish they had sound!!!

Thanks, guys. Can't say that's a bad thing.

 

[kewlmyc]

I like how most of these webm won't work in 2 hours. Quit linking to 4chan webms.

 

[ref]

What is this new devilry!

 

[Bsigg12]

If we're just linking them separately anyways, why are people still not including sound?

If they are pulled from 4chan, none of those have sound. There are a few posted with sound.

They work on my Galaxy S3 on Chrome.

Which leads to the potential problem .webm video format brings. Sound. If there's sound and they are embedded to posts and they all start at the same time. That's chaos and could bring screamer-trolling. That's why .webp would be the better alternative since it's a picture format.

 

[Uno Venova]

I thought reddit has been using this for a while now.

Perhaps it is a better format but I haven't seen much of it as of yet so I can't comment. Hell I don't know much about these formats. All I know is that the benefits from this format (webm) as compared to GIF are huge.

VP9 kicks H.264's ass. The comparison to H.265 is another story with pro's and con's for each.

 

[vasametropolis]

THEY LOAD SO FAST. So smooth oh my god.

 

[Ricerocket]

Crazy. It loads with no effort, much lower bandwidth, and higher quality. It's like magic.

 

[Rubius]

I'm in a inuit village on a wireless modem that connect to a satellite dish. They load kinda slow, but about as fast as gifs. Pretty cool.

LOL NICEE!!

 

[xemumanic]

The only advantage it has is being free. It doesn't win on any technical level vs H.264. No matter what anyone says because of the patent debate and all that other stuff, the black and white truth is it doesn't match up.

 

[SephCast]

This is seriously a #gamechanger.

 

[DaBoss]

This is how the GIF and JIF war ends. It ends with WebM taking over.

 

[Damaniel]

Am I the only one not particularly impressed by these? Many seem to be playing back at far faster than 60fps (or at least appear to be), and the macroblocking on most of them looks worse than the color dithering of an average GIF. Sure, they load fast, but they end up being blurry, blocky messes (in both Firefox and Chrome).

Something needs to make the animated GIF go away once and for all, but can't it be something that looks nice everywhere?

 

[DirtyLarry]

Wow. These load just as fast as any image format. JPEG. PNG. GIF. Yet they look fantastic.

Any additional information on how to create one of these?

 

[clem84]

nothing works. I was able to link the files to the player but when I click on the files I just get a blank (green) screen. When I click on the files directly in Internet explorer nothing happens. This thing is broken.

webm my body is ready for this change e3 will be glorious.

Welp there is the problem. Imagine opening a page on Neogaf and having 100 sounds. Not cool brah. Maybe if the sound was disabled by default it would be okay?

Internet Explorer do not support it. Only Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Internet Explorer is years behind browser wise. Chrome is the best Browser out there with 505/555 point. IE 11 is at 376/555

What's FFXV GAF doing? Need Webm!!!
