>3 fucking DECADES later and it's still used everywhere

It's pronounced gif like in "gift" by the way.
G stands for graphics, not jraphics.

>>62080733
It already is with webm

>>62080733
Webm is the future but we still got poorly coded websites and applications still designed for 9+ years old PCs in mind.

>>62080750
A fuckton of mobile devices still don't support webm

>>62080744

Are you kidding? Stop using shit from 2010 then.

This, more than half of stuff on /wsg/ and /gif/ is already webm.

>>62080760
You mean iPhones and iPads. Just about every Android device has native web support or you can get MX player for free. Applefags gotta pay money for similar apps.

>>62080733
Because it behaves like an image in every way. Just a looping, moving image that you can view, save and send everywhere like an image. While webm really behaves more like an embedded video, sometimes it loops and sometimes it doesn't, there are playback controls, and you can't right-click it and press "view image".

>>62080733
>>62080750
webp. Supported by every Blink-based browser. Also supports transparency.

>>62080750
i'd say gif and webm fulfill slightly different niches

>>62080773
are you seriously calling for that faggot who keeps converting images to webm for optimization sake?
I'm sure he's still lurking

>>62080814
webp is a the mng of formats.
it will never ever catch on.

webm already won.

>>62080872
Google uses it on their pages.

faceberg and twatter convert gifs to video formats now

>>62080733
Gif just werks. I can boot up my decade old dumbphone and gifs work. Can't say the same for webm.

>>62080883
Mozilla used MNG in places too.

Webp is dead on arrival.
A single frame webm already does the job.

>>62080892
GOPHER just worked too.

>>62080785
iPhone fag here, when I click a webm, VLC automatically opens up and plays it, not a perfect solution but it works just fine.

Stop using deprecated devices. Even my '12 S3 has no problems with .webm

>>62081005
You mean dithering?

>>62081028
There is no dithering in that one.

That's just 4chan not allowing the file format

I wish there was a program that lets you pull a frame over what you want to capture and record directly to webm (like it is possible with some gif programs).

>>62081130
SimpleScreenRecorder allows you to do that. You can choose fullscreen, a window, or custom rectangle and record directly to webm.

>you can't right-click it and press "view image".
So it says "view video". Not that big of a difference.

awesome, looking at kazam at the moment and will test that one too afterwards

HOLY SHIT THAT PROGRAM IS AWESOME.
Tried Kazam but it didn't even have bitrate settings.
Thanks for that recommendation! Works like a charm.

Better technology is out there, but no one uses it.

There are always better options but never underestimate the staying-power of something that's "good enough".

jif makes no fucking sense.

>>62082836
Sure it does. gym is pronounced "jim", not "gim". Same with gif.

1/10 for making me reply

>>62083308
Gym is pronounced that way only because English took the ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation of the word, which gives g the 'j' sound before e, i, and y.
Since 'graphic' is pronounced with a hard g in Latin and English, would it not make sense to keep the pronunciation the same so as to make the acronym better at relating to its meaning?

>>62081028
that isn't dithering you autist

>>62080733
I thought webp was going to be a thing but nobody cares and it's only supported on chrome and opera

>>62083660
But also giant and ginger. Etymology doesn't matter, the only argument needed is "jif sounds dumb".

>>62080991
kurrrrrww

Only mactoddler diapers don't support it.

go fuck yourself with a cactus

How have I never heard of this game? Reminds me of Road Rash

>>62084168
so you are basically trusting a random post with no source

>>62084091
But how do you pronounce apng?

>>62084350
there's no harm in trusting that post with no source
there would be harm if I didn't and it was true
makes no difference either way because the imageboard I browse the most, 4chan, is not supporting apng right now

ShareX does that.

>>62082659
I swear I remember moot saying he didn't want to add apng support (back before webm support was added) because it didn't work on Chrome back then. Fucking pussy, apng is the future. Adding it could have helped push it towards bigger things.
