Bullshit, this is a HUGE file. Its 4 megabytes for whats essentially a few seconds of small extremely low quality video.
Again, mp4 or flash (even with the old flv based codecs) would be one tenth the size.
Again, gif is no web standard. Again, its owners were anything but open. Again, your hatred of flash and other alternatives is making you look foolish.
- steevdave 16y agoYou are bitching about gif not being open while advocating flash... And telling him that he looks foolish?
- drzaiusapelord 16y agoActually I'm advocating mp4, but I'll take flash over gif. Heck, since Flash9, it can play mp4 files. I'll even take wmv over gif. Gif is not an appropriate container for video. People use it for easy hosting not because its a "standard" or because its good at video. 4 megabytes of this? Please.
- Samuel_Michon 16y agoI call strawman. You are trying to make this about video, while I'm talking about slideshows. For video, Animated GIF is no good, we're in complete agreement there.
