That is broken on my computer :(

  I suspect that they only focused on particular versions of Chrome during development because it's a proof of concept.

    Yeah, but it is Windows 10 on the latest chrome... pictures other people have linked look cool though.

      Seems to work fine on Win 10 and latest chrome for me. I wonder if it might be related to turning on/off the GPU rendering in chrome maybe?

    Then they shouldn't be making the claim that "this codec wouldn't require end-users, OEMs or browsers to install special software to enable playback of these videos." If I have to install a browser I don't normally use, then it requires installing special software.

  Seems to work best in Firefox, then Chrome has a few more glitches, and is totally broken in Safari

The video always plays at a (large) fixed size... which is unfortunate for a vector data source, scaling should be relatively easy for such a file format. (Edit: I just notice the full-screen button on the video, I really think they should be emphasizing that, since vector video should be able to stay smooth at extreme resolutions)

  When I press full-screen I just get the same video in top-right 25% corner and the rest filled with black.

  Resizeable link! Previous one was a bug https://files.vectorly.io/demo/resizeable/index.html https://files.vectorly.io/demo/resizeable/index.html We're still not comfortable putting demos on our front page, for all the bugs everyone's mentioned, and other issues. Not even sure who posted this on HN, but grateful for the attention / feedback!

    It would be useful to detect browsers that don't work at all (e.g. Safari) and at least warn that it's coming. Right now it doesn't inspire much confidence...

There's also a "Khan Academy"-style demo: https://files.vectorly.io/demo/khan-20kbps/index.html https://files.vectorly.io/demo/khan-20kbps/index.html

This is from The Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror XXIII", Season 24 episode 2. This segment starts at 14:45 on the Disney+ version. There's a relatively low-quality cut on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ehuHRnC4Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ehuHRnC4Q

Tons of artifacts, low framerate.
