Why not go the webm way like 4chan did? (soundless, limited size webm)

[deedubaya → Vaskivo]

Lack of IE, Safari (iOS and OS X) support?

ive seen webms with sound. i mean heard them..

[Vaskivo → lawlessone]

Webms have sound.

4chan allow webms as long as they are soundless and are, at most, 2 MB. It works as a replacement to gifs.

So... they were losing eyes to gfycat and decided to copy them?

[lawlessone]

is this in anyway related to webm?

Quality looks very good either way.

[Fastidious → lawlessone]

It is an mp4 video.
