NeoGAF, welcome to .webm - the FUTURE (of burning out your CPU)

Desulibeta's updated extension should help, although more reasonably sized files (like what 4chan has) would probably keep things from getting out of control.

Try the greasemonkey script

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/451547

It disables autoplay and adds a play button. All credit to the almighty Delusibeta!

Yep, just tried it. MUCH better now. Glad everything has a play button now.

God, the sooner gif dies and this takes over, the fucking better.

Just in time for E3 as well.
 
That Asian woman would belong in a real-life version of the incompetent sex appeal thread. Yeah, I went there. Come at me.

Also, these are really cool. My poor mobile i3 though :( 99% on that first page. Also, where all the MK8 ones gone?
 
No Safari support, no deal for me. I JUST got over using 3 different web browsers for work, I'm not downloading another JUST to view NeoGAF. Never mind that WebM becomes useless for iPhone traffic.

Are you an iOS user?

Probably, like a large majority of mobile web traffic seems to be.
 
<3 webm

Using the greasemonkey script.

Only downside (apart from increased cpu load when running a bunch) is if someone makes a super highres one and doesn't label it, mainly because it'll load much smaller than your average gif resolution ones.
 
You know how gifs are usually compressed, small bits of video at low framerates?

Wifs aren't nearly as compressed, can be much longer, and can have high framerates, while being smaller than a gif.

That's the one thing I do get, hahaha. But everybody's posting links I can't follow and replying to said links with "Oh wow" and "Holy crap" and, ironically, gifs. Hahaha
 
Having the non-autoplay extension for Chrome makes this absolutely amazing. Holy hell. I love being able to go full screen

You left out the disclaimer about where that benefit is applicable. I mean, he DID say he was posting from an iPhone after all, so none of that really means anything to him, does it?
 
Because they're expired, because they're 4chan links

Bah, they worked when I clicked and a lot of the other ones work as embedded. Great plugin Andy.

The only thing that isn't working is when the webm is quoted you can't make it bigger like regular GIF's or pics.
 
Just download the non autoplay file and then drag it to your Chrome Extensions page

It just redownloads it. I literally have no knowledge of anything scripts whatsoever so i'd rather just press a button to get it to work so i dont accidentally blow up my computer
 
AFAIK, this is really no different than linking to short MP4 files. WEBM is another video format, produced by Google. So if one is embeddable at GAF (using <video> tag) the other one would be as well. Safari on Mac/iOS don't support webm btw.
Um. Safari on my OS X does. At least when I click it it opens a new tab and shows the Quicktime logo before the video.

And I've seen screenshots of it on iOS too so.

My dream extension would be for the YouTube Me extension and the ability to view .webm inline all together in one extension using HTML5 so I don't need Flash to load for the page. Get on that, hateradio! Please?
 
Force update from the neogaf live thread removes the embedding. It's not a big deal at all (really) but just posting that.

I can play every other WebM fine but this one freezes in the middle and the end every time. Weird.

Me too. Probably inherent to the image.
 
Reading this thread on my iPhone and I have no idea what's going on.

4chan added support for webm today.

Webm is a better version of gif, allowing higher resolution, longer vids, 60fps, etc.

Bunch of video game webm's that were created on /v/ made its way here, and now we are here with this thread

After you download it drag it from the download bar at the bottom of the Chrome Browser to the Extensions page youll see a pop up come up that says drop to install and boom your done! haha

You mean they worked being displayed standalone versus as an embed? Because the only broken ones on the first page are 4chan links and the working ones are 4chan links from boards with longer timers or are hosted instead on pomf.se.

I know and thats my problem, when I click drop to install it just downloads the file again. So its just a loop of downloading and dragging.

Like I said my saavyness with this stuff is so low that you'd be better off asking a middle schooler to do this.

As embeds I'm getting black on posts 2,4, and 73 for example.
 
Just learning how to edit gifts and now the format changes. Will this be easier or does the ability to edit them even exist yet?

If you create your gifs in a video editing program the workflow is pretty much the same, you just save to a webm file instead of a gif.
 
Oh, yeah my computer (laptop anyway, haven't tried the desktop) slows down when looking at all of those MK8 wgifs at once, for instance.

A toggle for auto-play on or off could be a cool thing if that's somehow implementable. Generally prefer autoplay but slows with so many.

Also I guess it would be common courtesy to not quote the images, maybe.

Lol weird but yea its okay youll experience the future some day too!
