in tyool 2013 there are only 2 video codecs you should be using:

  • master aryan h.264 race

  • vc-1 (lol shaggar)
everything else is poo poo

now video codecs don't sit alone, no siree, they have to be inside a container. If you have to ask :getout:

Here is my list of containers and analysis:
  • .asf - p good because it can only hold 2-3 video codecs and but it will be vc-1 unless its a one weird old experimental encode of the matrix cam rip. #2spooky

  • .mp4 - p good because it can only hold 1 video codec, but apple does stupid poo poo like putting illegal streams like ac3 into it because lol standards. also stupid companies like happague like to make the framerates non interger like 4.33333333333333 so nothing really works right with those files.

  • .avi - loooooooooooooooooooooooooool might as well be monkeys hitting skulls with bones

  • .mov - its cool if you dont care what your video looks like or even plays back properly.

  • .mkv - banned for animes

post the nerdiest codecs u got

someone owns a patent on the fact that audio and video are synched up with files in the US. so GO TO JAIL. DO NOT COLLECT FAT VC MONEY. PAY MPEG-LA TO GET OUT OF JAIL.

people ask me "why cant i give out a quicktime file" and then i can use a bunch of words that explain why its a bad idea, and they go "yeah but its apple"

then i say "apple doesn't even deliver quicktime files anymore"

they stop using quicktime files after that.
