WebM for NeoGAF (Chrome) 1.3
- Added "hover-to-play" option.
- Added max-height option.
- Added Credits page in Options.
It's nice that chrome recignizes that sound is playing via webm, and it puts a speaker icon in a tab.
Sweet!
Even cut the filesize to a third of the original. Now to achieve this while getting the higher quality video aspect.

I click on the images & it plays the image once, but doesn't loop.
Right click, chose loop.

NeoGAF really needs to adopt WebM/HTML5. It's something I've been pondering recently.
gyfcat.com does a great job of converting gifs to HTML5 videos with no audio.
Look at this GIF:
GIF Version: 4.5 MB
HTML 5 Version: 286 KB
View HTML5 version here: http://gfycat.com/about
GIFs are resource heavy and outdated.
gycat is a great example for real-world proof that GIFs need to go and WebM is a great way to do it.
Ha! There ya go. Best of luck!
There are even plugins?!?

It's amazing how the original was over 10MB and this version is only 900k.
where's this /v/?
Smooth as fuck on my Moto G. This shit is so much better than gifs.
all the webMs there seem to open up in their own tab though

Would it be possible to implement this as an option?:
Would be perfect for some of us.
Glad to see max-width is coming, too

Great work Andrex!
Only other thing I really need is to know how big each webm is. Even if it's just through an Image Properties extension like I already had with gifs.

This changes everything! Really impressive stuff, my shitty internet connection bows before our new animated image overlord!
Now to find out how I can make high quality .webm files with Photoshop, is it even possible, guess not right?

sorry to sound like a broken telephone
two bugs/issues
- "Click-to-Play" does not work unless you right-click and press play
- "Hover-to-Play" requires the cursor to stay on the WebM to keep playing
that's how 4chan works.

Not any more, and hasn't been that way for a long time. 4chan has it's own inline extension built in. You can expand them in thread by changing your personal (cookie-saved) setting in that little setting link at the top of the page.
Or by using a Chrome Extension like 4chan Plus, but hey, either way.

Looks better than Youtube videos in 1080p.
Why did this take so long

I didn't even know this shit existed. Overnight gifs went from my favorite thing on the net to a relic.
oh wow, it has even youtube embedding. I never knew.
edit: expanding webms seems to work for me.
It's just a video format like H264/MP4, except it's free to use.

Nice, I converted my Photoshop GIF (.psd file) to MP4 video file and then converted it to webm using VLC and it worked.
Will look into that webP plugin later from the OT, just managed to save a single image from the animated GIF in Photoshop using that plugin.

With GIF I had a good excuse using only half or a third of the frames, because of file size, but now this isn't a problem any longer...but editing 24 fps in PS would be a pain.
Edit: lol, my webm file is supposed to be 2 hours and 12 minutes long according to the player, hmm what have I done?
I made one with VLC earlier and it came out 80 minutes long. I don't think that's the right way to go about making these.Nice, I converted my Photoshop GIF to MP4 video file and then converted it to webm using VLC and it worked.
