Kendjin Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 GifV Media Tag As many of you know, Imgur released a new "format" called GifV. It is pretty much just a h.264 video without controls that plays on loop. The main reason for this, was to decrease filesize, as GIF is not an ideal format for longer files or larger. (there is also hope that mp4/webM format may be allowed in the future) As more and more content on the site is moved towards this new format, we are left without means to link these as we would a GIF file. I'm posting this here, mostly to see if there is interest or issues with this, at which point we can push for implimentation. Nayleen, sirjabberwock, Kaguya and 3 others 6 Quote
CLuBLioN Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 No issue here. I would love to see this implemented. Quote
Tay Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm posting this here, mostly to see if there is interest or issues with this, at which point we can push for implimentation. There you go again, disturbing the peace with your newfangled, anarchist ideas. I'm on to you, Kendjin. Watch yourself. Quote
Kendjin Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Just you wait, I'll raise an army, then we will play a children's card game! CLuBLioN 1 Quote
sirjabberwock Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I was actually considering making a thread for this very purpose a couple days after imgur lauched the GIFV format but never did >.> I think it'd be a great idea because http://i.imgur.com/DfbZclK.gifv CLuBLioN 1 Quote
Eclipsed Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Support. Idk if this means anything but for GIFV images on imgur you can just remove the V from the link and you'll still be able to post the GIF ie. for sirjabberwocks' GIFV above I can just link http://i.imgur.com/DfbZclK.gif Quote
sirjabberwock Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Idk if this means anything but for GIFV images on imgur you can just remove the V from the link and you'll still be able to post the GIF I was aware of this but like Kendjin mentioned the filesize is smaller (& if I'm not mistaken they play more smoothly among other benefits) Quote
Nayleen Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hype train? http://i.imgur.com/ocna0s2.gifv Hype train. Posting the .gifv URL is enough since the forums are set to auto-convert, otherwise wrap them in the tag. Kendjin, Tay and sirjabberwock 3 Quote
Kendjin Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Yay!! It didn't seem to do that before, but if it works now, I'm super happy http://i.imgur.com/6SKj53S.gifv Now to get Gfycat intergration Quote
Nayleen Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Seems like gfycat doesn't like their content being embedded elsewhere. Both videos return access denied errors. Nevermind, there we go. More hype train please. Kendjin 1 Quote
Kendjin Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks Nay. You can have all my likes for today. Quote
Nayleen Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Just a quick reminder: Have fun with these, but they should be included in spoiler tags to prevent them from auto-loading (and auto-playing) for slower devices and people with bandwidth quotas. Tay 1 Quote
