Support NeoGAF

[close to the edge]

Sugestion: Only limit the size of the webm if original width/height is larger than the width/height set in option. Could that be an option?

I just tried to hack that in but my Javascript is awful and I don't know how to debug Chrome extensions, so I'm stuck. Here's what I changed:

if (items.constrainVideos) {
  //video.width = items.pixelsWide;
  var w = video.width;
  video.width = Math.min(w, items.pixelsWide);
}
if (items.constrainVideosHeight) {
  //video.style.maxHeight = items.pixelsHigh + 'px';
  var h = video.height;
  video.style.maxHeight = Math.min(h + 'px', items.pixelsHigh + 'px');
}

edit: It does seem to work for the height, but not the width. I'll play around some more

First test. Too bad my laptop can't play bluray, I have to use the DVD version instead. Still trying to mess around with ffmpeg, so that I can find a setting that suits my liking when it comes to file size and overall quality. But as of now, this will do.

Compare to the same sequence made in gif: this one is 854x360 and around 2.5Mb vs 480x200 and more than 9Mb. Yet one's quality is almost the same, while the other's is really hideous (in order to reduce the file size to less then 10Mb). Damn.

I think we need a webm Gaming OT thread.

There is one. Not really an OT, but at least that thread still focuses on gaming.

 

[Tizoc]

Okay this seems to work. Only problem is the timing is slightly off from what I want but eh it's good enough

Yep.

 

[CountAntonius]

Yep.

Sweet. Thanks.

 

[Sloane]

Funny, I experimented a bit with setting up a Spelunky Death Diary yesterday and was shocked at how bad gif actually is. Was about to give up when I stumbled upon webm -- what an amazing difference.

 

[Kwixotik]

This is amazing. I can't believe I'm just now hearing about this. It feels like the transition from horse-drawn carriage to motor car.

Why not WebP? Works better for images and goes in the <IMG> tag.

Like so:

[SolidusDave]

Thanks for the Firefox userscript!

Am I seeing this correctly that there's no mouse-over-play like for Chrome?
Ideally, they should start&stop playing depending on if you're actually seeing them, no idea if that's possible to integrate.

And yeah, size dimensions should be the original of the webm but with a user defined max limit (you can click fullscreen anyway if you want)

 

[chaobreaker]

Another one I just made:

I notice that Firefox stutters these videos on my PC but not Chrome. I still can't believe FF is still such a bloated mess.

She's 19. The Rachel Williams on wikipedia is a different person.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

BEWARE THE SCRIPTS THAT EMBED WEBM!

They will melt your CPUs if you're not careful.
Trust in the good old gifs instead for now, or open webm in individual tabs.

Yeah, it's crazy. Basically having your cake and eating it.

Ohhhhh lol. But only 19?? She looks a bit older than that. Impossible to guess anyone's age nowadays.

Safari plays these just fine. Excellent.

Tried using the command line tool and the conversion never happens. Tried the GUI for it now available and get an unhandled exception error. ;_;

Goddamn, we really need new animated image formats quick. Oh, and fuck apng's.

Got it working, it doesn't seem to like the audio channels though, dat Skywalker Sound.

Oh, and fuck apng's.

I'd say the say same to webm. Reduces quality far too much, unless we are able to upload into a website that does not recompress webm files, like gfycat does. Just display webm files the way they were uploaded - no recompression, kthx.

EDIT: ffmpeg webm vs. GIF. Only quality difference is that webm version has more colors. File size difference as mentioned above is 3.37MB vs. 16.3MB.

 

[Bishop89]

I dont understand what these firefox 'scripts' are for, they work perfectly fine for me.

Well, this sucks. This files don't seem to work on my iPad.

I personally couldn't give a rats ass about the slight compression artifacts that .webm creates if it means animated images load instantly every time.

The people creating 10+MB gifs for something that really doesn't need pixel-perfect IQ have their own private circle in hell reserved for them.

Some people made 20Mb+ .webm files already lol

 

[Coreda]

Can't say I've noticed it myself, but I've been reading some say the videos auto download in the background even with autoplay set to 'false' in the userscript.

Anyone to confirm this? I've only seen some videos preload slightly.

How is your Safari playing them? On a Mac?

On my Safari the webm's just have a link. Clicking the link downloads the webm as a file and then VLC is used to play the webm.

They work fine in Chrome on Mac OSX within the browser but not Safari.

 

[Dennis]

I have set my webm to display at maximum width of 1280 which ensures that 720p gets displayed at native res while larger are reduced. Seems like a reasonable compromise.
