Not loading on iOS, someone care to explain what this is?

Here's the deal.

H.264 and WebM are both very similar formats. WebM is not patent encumbered. Google has adopted it as their preferred video format. On the other hand, H .264 is extremely widely adopted, and is usually built into mobile hardware decoding chips. They are kissing cousins on a technical side, but different politically.

iPhones have hardware that decode H .264 files but not WebM files. Most devices can't decode WebM files right now unless they use a huge chunk of CPU. So it's going to be at a bit of a disadvantage for mobile. Some android devices may contain dedicated WebM decoding hardware, I'm not too sure.
 
This is the first time I've heard of this. It looks and loads a lot smoother than GIFs.

Not to mention that sound can be added as well as having a higher resolution while still staying under the filesize of a GIF of the same scene.

Holy...Holy SHIT.

These seem to load a lot better than most gifs.
They really do. They seem to take up less RAM on my PC, too, believe it or not.

Yeah, gifs are ded. 4chan is about to become unvisitable

. NeoGAF too, if Andrex gets his embed code up and running.

Soooo, how do I go about saving this locally XD
In Firefox, right-click on the video and "Save Video as..." from the menu.

This seems like a big step towards getting rid of shitty framerate marketing materials and moving towards 60fps as an expectation for games.

How resource heavy is it? It seems to be running like silk on Chrome. I can only assume this is some sort of magic or witch craft. Either way it's incredible.
