I only see webm being useful for wanting to compress large filesize videos.
The above video clip was 2.29GB converted to a 11.2MB WebM

The H.264 uses 4~5% of my CPU while the VP8 uses 10~12%.
no inline support of webtm
what is evillore doing? cmonson.webtm
No it doesn't work.
It can work if the extension is .mp4 in which case it will play in a new tab in Safari. iOS is then treating it as a movie file.

Even on a per device basis, if we just look at the mobile devices sold in Q3 of last year where 455 million devices were sold. That's 91 million in royalty payments, hardly a small sum to give up.
Looping is part of the video tag, not the video encoding setting.

Loads HTML5 videos, which do not have descriptions or thumbnails by default, as their links become visible on the screen.

Yes. I was wondering if a loop tag can be set for WebM, just like it can be set for GIFs.
Not AFAIK, because webm is a video format and designed to be controlled with a player.
Example of a gif embedded in a page:
Code:
<img src="vid.gif">vs. embedded webm emulating gif behaviour:
Code:
<video src="vid.webm" autoplay=true loop=true controls=false>You can see it's a lot more complex. Something like animated WebP on the other hand could be embedded like the GIF, with loop set for each image.
Just say "Web M" I think.

Found the no audio flag for ffmpeg ( -an ), makes converting an uncropped youtube source simpler outside of using gfycat

Yes, "Web M" is the correct way to say it. Sounds like something Spider-Man would say, though.

Well, the WebM format allows for metadata, right? You could just bootstrap into one of the existing fields and be like keywords=autoplay;repeat or something alon those lines.

Whats the source of the second one?
Hi there, Andrex.
There seems to be a problem with neogaf embeded webms.
I am using chrome and when I click to play embeded webm, it plays, but pressing fullscreen makes screen black with video in the center, not resized fullscreen.
If you rmb click video to copy link, paste it in the bar and run the video like that, you can fullscreen the video border to border based on ar of the video.

Hmm, weird. I'll look into it.
It is.
For forums to support it, they just have to add a bbcode that converts
[video]http://to.webm.url[/video]
to
<video src="http://to.webm.url" loop=true muted autoplay=true>
But it would be pretty crappy for people whose CPU utilization is reaching high levels of usege, wouldn't it? I mean the autoplay=true function in the video tag.
Maybe some overlay text saying "press to play" or something like that. When it isn't playing, it isn't utilizing CPU as when it plays, right?
GIFs are CPU hogs as well.
Just follow the same rules.. don't have too many on the same page

Having autoplay off in the gaf extensions is pretty necessary for me right now. Pretty unstable between chrome and firefox at the moment.
I'd rather there just be a way to not have them download until you try to play it.
I think enabling webm embed support would be a terrible idea. These things are pretty terribly optimized and render differently depending on the browser you are one. Also it seems that looping may not be automatic. Though gifs are old and lame they at least behave consistently once you get the file downloaded.
right. There's ways to do it that it would require almost no resources until you start the video. It would be a lot better than embedding a bunch of youtube videos for example.
Yeah. I don't know why it buffers even tho you won't play it.
Like imagine seeing youtube thumbnails buffering the videos - like the predicted page something in Chrome etc.
by default videos will buffer. There's a preload attribute that overrides this.
http://www.stevesouders.com/blog/2013/04/12/html5-video-preload/ (a little out of date but you get the idea)
WebMs can/are GPU accelerated. GIFs cannot be. The only way to optimize GIFs would be to convert them to videos internally in the browser before display.
The software will catch up in a matter of a year or two with optimizations. It's still much better than loading an entire Flash plugin just to a) decode video the browser can render already and b) be limited to 30fps. It's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario, but once people start using them more, the situation will resolve shortly.
It's kind of like how the level of JS use didn't explode until Google released V8. It ignited an arms race in JS speed and now a bunch of stuff that was a cute toy in JS demos at programming conferences became real sites.
Thank you. Also attributes, not functions - personal note.
I'd call it an attribute if it's on the tag. I guess it's a property if you were doing it from a script. Not sure if that helps.

Pretty sure a large number of the videos embedded here preload even though I've set the attribute to 'metadata' only, as the tab often continues to load well after everything else. I've read setting it to 'none' helps, but then the browser doesn't grab the metadata/thumbnail. Kinda lame considering the benefit it could bring.
Oh man Guilty Gear Webm's in 60FPS are going to be the shit
what about setting them all to none and then loading the metadata if they're in view? here's a quick test.

Interesting concept, nice little demo. One thing I noticed is the thumbnails go blank again after scrolling back up after a while and it can take a while for them to appear, although it seems to work for not loading anything more than the metadata, as far as I can tell.
Wish I knew of an app to monitor how much data is loaded when the metadata is being fetched, as when scrolling through GAF WebM pages some videos seem to be preloading something larger than the metadata (maybe it's a certain way it's encoded?) because if I press 'Esc' to cancel the page loading they can go from displaying thumbnail to 'Video MIME type not supported' or some such, while others instantly show and retain their thumbnails.
WebMs have a rather odd behavior around here, as really all it should fetch imo is just the length and thumbnail and nothing else which it sometimes does but not other times - or perhaps it's just something on my end

This is going to sound strange, but
Any other firefox users getting webm videos when they see some videos on PornHub now? Using firefox webm extension for neogaf
Not complaining as that's less the plugin container accessing my PC.
