iPhone 5s came out over a year ago. And yes it had plenty of battery left.
Also, transparency is possible because it's not limited to jpeg. PNG frames could just as easily be used where needed.
The point is the technique can be improved. Whether it can be shaped into anything useful is yet to be seen. In the meantime, cool down and take a deep breath.
- Vendan 12y agomeh, it boils down to whatever image format you use, you take a 33% increase in file size cause it's base64 encoded, and then a huge hit cause you can't do frame to frame encoding, like true motion estimation. It's trying (poorly) to solve an already solved problem with bad tech. Different platforms support it horribly differently, it burns cpu power on some (on Firefox, cpu hits 100% when normal web browsing, including youtube, is 10%). The true way to do it is to use modern html5 video tags, which are gonna work anywhere that svg would. Video tags are supported back to IE9, and SVG is only marginally supported in IE9. So the only thing you could gain is not having to use 3 video formats to hit all the browsers, and that's a pitiful excuse.
