What in the fuck is a ".gifv?" it just opens an .mp4. Why wouldn't you just use a .webm?
>>55645302
It's a video file, like .webm
because the programmers at imgur are autistic and like their userbase to be complete retards
I still get triggered when they call video files "high quality gifs"
>>55645302
I think they serve webm too.
It's the buzzword for their converter and player.

>Why don't they just use .webm
Because Apple users.
- Apple user.
>>55645349
Why does apple still not support .webm?
>converting .gifs to mp4
Yeah, that'll work out well (see ylilauta)
>>55645356
The usual obtuse trumped-up technical reasons, I would guess.

They explain it pretty clearly that their users are retarded: https://blog.imgur.com/2014/10/09/introducing-gifv/
>The .GIFV Extension: With all these improvements, Imgur will now denote converted videos with a “.gifv” extension. The intention is to signal to users throughout the Internet that these links will feature a GIF experience that incorporates all the current and future enhancements made through Project GIFV. Imgur plans to submit an accompanying specification to relevant standards organizations before the end of the year.
