I've never watched the Banderas clip with sound until now. Hearing the noise he makes completely changes the gif, and I can no longer look at it the same as I once did.
It's like I'm looking at real life

.webp is pronounced "weppy"
that's pretty good I think.

It's so funny seeing people get so excited about this when GAF Gold members have had .gifs automatically converted to .webms for awhile now.
Seriously though, GAF needs to have embed support for this by E3

...............and don't match up in quality. There's been numerous comparisons, it just doesn't win. I get the motivation and desire for it, but it doesn't match up. Close, but no cigar.
But enough of this debate. This thread is about using it as a .GIF replacement, where its a CLEAR advantage. Also, its pretty obvious why it shouldn't have audio if its going to be used as a replacement image format.
The question I have is, why isn't it WebP? And isn't WebP just WebM renamed and without an audio stream, but otherwise unchanged? Or is there more to it?

WebP seems to only be supported officially by Opera and Chrome I think based on what I read.

Yeah there's five of those.
It's become a contest to make the most extravagant transformation sequence.

I remember posting in a gif thread a while back that it's really shitty that we deal with low res, low-quality 50+ MB gifs when WebM exists. I really hope they become embeddable here. There's even a "muted" attribute in the HTML5 video tag, so that takes care of the sound issue. And to those nitpicking the quality, remember that every 4chan WebM in here is under 3MB.
Now all we need is a WebM screen capture program that's as easy to use as GifCam
The "controls" attribute of the video tag allows the controls to be hidden. There's also a "loop" attribute.

Yes, it needs to work exactly as a .GIF does.

Excellent. Then the information I read was wrong and this is may be the way to go.
Right Click > Loop
I'm sure there will be a chrome extension that does this automatically really soon.
That, I don't know. If you are embedding them, you pretty much load them. However, a good developper could come up with something. For exemple, the embedded content only load if you press a button under the webm/webp, etc.

What's the best program to save/convert a video as a webm file?
I'm jumping on this bandwagon early!
Ugh. That's a complete turn off. Not even sure if I want to make the effort of watching that series. What's better: nanoha series, the Pretty Cure series, or Madoka series?
Wouldn't it be easier to have a format based on H.264 video in a container just like gif that autoplays and autoloops without sound? Pretty much every browser and mobile device has h.264 decoding built in.
Or websites can easily programmed to embed h264 video files and play them without sound just like how vine works from inside twitter.

...and this thread just sold me a Wii U. Thanks a lot, NeoGAF.
Madoka, without a shadow of a doubt...but watch the other two and some Sailor Moon first. Madoka is a
really bizarre and somewhat grimdark
Looks like 4chan has set the standard for the internet here.

We're getting off topic here but those are only in the third movie and they're insanely well animated if you're going to watch a mahou shojo series you gotta deal with transformation sequences.

Man, I really hope .webm takes off because of this, but I do wish the regular image hosting sites add this format to their roster. I don't want to have to have yet another account to host my uploaded media.
This format is way smaller in size than h.264, since the video codec is one that's being promoted for 4K streaming and is way more efficient at compression.
Go here to download the encoder, then here to download a GUI for it.

I actually think I'd like it better if they weren't embedd'd if people kept the audio in them.

Where are you guys finding the loop? These are all the options I'm getting.
Using Firefox by the way.

Runs amazing on my phone. Not shocked iOS doesn't support it though lol

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.

It might not be there in some browsers by default. I know I read somewhere that there was a firefox extension that put the "loop" option into that menu.
It's the same tech as h.264, and it's not more efficient at all, look at gfycat.com to see what I mean.
