Dont mean to be rude, but comparison of file sizes of different video containers is pointless. You need to see what audio or video format each of the container files store. Then there could be changes in framerate (fps), frame size (like 640x480), compression quality (or inversely video bit rate), audio bit rate, image encoding (rgb for gif vs yuv420 ). Just changing the audio bit rate from 128kbps to 32kbps for a voice only video (i mean no music, like they have for tutorials) can reduce file size by 50%!

- glitch 12y agoYes, I agree with you in essence. I don't agree that it's pointless, though; I believe there exists some merit to it. The point of the comparison was more about a quick and dirty quick example with the compression implementation and settings used by GyfCat, which was a quick way to convert the GIF. There are obvious flaws in this approach. Many flaws, in fact. However, even with those flaws, it demonstrated my point (that the GIF sucks) as far as I'm concerned. More optimal settings and all sorts of possibilities for alternatives should be explored. But, I will leave that to someone else because that is outside of the intended scope of my intent for this comment.
