.webm overtaking .gifs?
Recently on 4chan, I'm starting to see more and more people posting .webm files over .gifs. I don't understand why, they don't play in a loop like .gifs do, and .gifs are easier to work with (at least for me). Does anyone know why more people are starting to use .webm?

I dont like it. I dont care if its ''better'', i prefer gif.

I remember seeing a thread about them making your webcam vulnerable. I don't know if it is true, but I'm still iffy about clicking them.
-
Meeh, I like gifs better...
-
I can't play sound for some reason. Or perhaps I'm just a webm noob.

1 ReplyI sure as hell hope they take off. no more 'gif' vs 'jif' shit anymore I declare it 'Web Em'

bc now i can get 1080p porn in a faster and better format

If we get a higher quality that wasn't originally designed to accommodate the internet circa 1999, I'd be all for it. Granted, "webmset" doesn't really roll off the tongue.
-
Right Click the vid/image, I don't know what to call it, and click "Loop". Problem solved.
-
Didn't moot make some announcement about transitioning to webm?

60 FPS 1080p 2MB files.

they loop for me where i've seen them before! though that might just be because i'm using the <3-est browser
-
Higher quality for the amount of data. Capable of crazy resolution/framerates. and getting them to loop and work like gifs is all in the browser. They can also carry sound, 4chan just has that feature disabled.

Edited by DesticleStomper6: 4/17/2014 3:28:26 AMWell they're like gifs except they are high quality so I don't mind

Edited by Jim the Jew Lord: 4/17/2014 3:28:07 AMman I hope so and they look better than gifs and I believe the file size is smaller even though the quality is better
-
One can only hope.
