i thought webm was vp9 codec or whatever "not h.264, nope, no patents infringed here, no sir!" H.264 knockoff Google was trying to get everyone on board with a while back, while .gifv is just an mp4 and thus uses h.264 codec

all browsers need to do is if you use the IMG tag, and it sees a video file, loop it with no sound.

this would solve a lot of issues but nope we get imgur "disrupting" the gif by slapping gifv brand on their video files

all you need is MP4, even mozilla caved and added h.264 support to firefox IIRC.
