now presented in gifv format for whatever difference that makes.


I'm going to take that as a request and investigate this far more than a reasonable person should because I got nothin better to do.

The difference is they are about 10 times smaller than gifs. In that respect you could make them at a higher quality if you wanted to. Not sure if your program gives you control of the framerate, but 30 FPS would have been really good for KO's ridiculously beautiful superkick. Whatever you're making with has a frame delay of "0," which for some reason ends up being the same as a frame delay of .1, which is 10 FPS.

(Side note: As I was making the comparisons below I discovered imgur limits the framerate at 25FPS)

For example (the one you upload):

http://i.imgur.com/kPrzRIH.gifv gifv, 200KB, 10fps (I just noticed they are sized up to 402px wide)

gif, 1.87MB, 10fps (400 wide)

Compared to

http://i.imgur.com/hNWvpvw.gifv gifv, 500KB, 25fps (This is the best a gifv will get on imgur)

gif, 10MB, 50fps (This was a great quality rip, didn't notice it was 50 fps at first)

gif, 7MB, 30fps

gif, 5MB, 25fps

Looks like gfycat won't change the framerate:

http://zippy.gfycat.com/SplendidUnderstatedHaddock.webm gfycat 1.45MB webm, 50fps

http://zippy.gfycat.com/SplendidUnderstatedHaddock.mp4 gfycat 531KB mp4, 50fps

Edit: One thing that always bothered me about the gif -> gifv (video) conversion is the loss of color (the USA broadcast also has more vibrant colors, which is another thing that bugged me when I got skysports rips). The gifs end up looking a lot better than the gifv's (both in your version and mine).

Edit 2: Added gfycat

Thanks WM, if the size difference is that big then I'll probably just make bigger gifs now (I always try to keep the filesize down) and then change them to gifv. The color-loss is disappointing but I figure we can live with that.

If you use http://gfycat.com/ instead you don't get the downgrade in quality you get from imgur's auto-converting

gifvs/webms/whatever the official format is are just all-around better than gifs and it's really great that the forums can finally embed them, especially if you're posting a ton at once -- I don't have the best internet connection and quite a few times I'd load one of the older pages here and have everything stall out while absolutely everything on the page tried to load

Only issue with webms is apparently they don't load/play for people using mobile, so I figured I'd post gifv since apparently they still work.

Also remember webm's won't show up on iphone, and I'd guess Safari in general. Gfy doesn't seem to have the gifv pseudo format that imgur offers which gives you both the webm and mp4 so your browser can choose which one it can play.

You can embed the .mp4 in the same way you embedded the webm, but it looks like the quality (and size) is lower.

It does look like gfy won't change the framerate like imgur did. However on both webm and mp4 you still get the color loss (added examples above).

Now to be fair, he's not necessarily 1000 years old, as he time-traveled to the present day. That doesn't mean he wasn't 1000 years old already, of course, this being Lucha Underground :allears:

Is there more Aero Star backstory in the comics? I really need to know whether he visited those Aztec dudes from another time, is some kind of alien, or was just a really smart Aztec who invented rocket boots and time travel.

Testing out stuff based on WM's post from earlier, here are gifs from the last NXT - larger initial filesizes at a higher framerate than normal using the gifv format for a far smaller end filesize. Let me know if these run or look funny.

They look a little overly white - plus the light in the background makes kinda weird gradients.

But these are small things - if they are simpler for you, or allow you to worry less about file size, keep it up!

Thanks, I'll keep experimenting - these were pretty much directly exported from Virtualdub rather than going through my usual 2-step process, so i didn't have the finer control I normally do. Once I find the right balance between size and quality it's just a matter of streamlining the process.
