Dont fix what isnt broken.
Levi Myers
It is broken though, it wastes more space for crappy quality.
Kevin Parker
everything is broken

Because it got bought out by a lazy Jap who is only interested in datamining its users and selling ad space.
Xavier Adams
I'm pretty sure moot kept vp8 for a long ass time too when vp9 was available without giving a shit because he stopped caring about Jow Forums.
Zachary Hernandez
Okay you brainlets, practical example:
Jow Forums was using google capcha since X. Then google made "better" version of capcha which needed different api calls to function. And Jow Forums didnt change the code UNTIL the last day the google actually disabled the old legacy chapcha aka broke the Jow Forums security feature.
What you ask for is new feature request. And for that to happen, somebody who can write code needs to work. And nobody works for free. Except janitors.
John Ward
inb4 it's 4 lines of code that needs to be changed

Whitelisting a file format takes a minute or so to do.
William Richardson
>file format
Sorry, I meant a codec. Does not change the fact that it shouldn't be an issue.

Ur moms broken

Maybe if you two will buy passes for a year, it will pay the dude who will find, edot and then test this.
Or maybe you will just give more money to hiro :-)
Xavier Lee
because Jow Forums is a shit
Jose Gutierrez
I was specifically told because of compatibility. I think that was back in 2016.
Luke Bennett
This isn't Jow Forums.

Well then they should switch to MP4.
Jeremiah Lee
non-free pig disgusting
Christopher Jones
why don't they allow mp4 like every other site in the universe
Luis Robinson
>MP4
VP8/9 are codecs, MP4 is a container.
Very different things.
Blake Nguyen
h264/mp4 requires royalties
VP9/webm does not
Carter Russell
>h264 requires royalties
wtf does that even mean?
Jacob Howard
en.wikipedia.org
that said, they don't charge royalties for internet videos which are free to view, so Jow Forums is in the clear anyway, they'd only have to pay royalties if say, certain videos were pass-only or something
Alexander Gray
The WEBM container for VP8 and VP9 is based on MKV. Since they both use the same container, it should be trivial to support VP9.
William Nelson
they most likely had to go out of their way to exclude vp9, or they just whitelisted only vp8 and vorbis
either way, it should be trivial to add vp9 as an allowed format (same with opus)

Boy, I sure do love being constrained by old technology.
Xavier Young
correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't it cost more for the server to check what codec the file is in?
or is that check done locally on your machine via javascript or HTML5?
Elijah King
>yfw 2chan supports vp9 and mp4 uploads
Joshua Garcia
LMAO
Angel Sanders
gee i dont know
why /mu/ cant be allowed to have SOUND on webms?
why webp isnt supported?
why /hr/ has a bigger size limit than the rest of the boards?
Jaxon Scott
This. We should've stuck with GIF.
Connor Thompson
because high resolution images typically have a larger file size
Lucas Johnson
vp9 doesn't have a usable encoder.
Camden White
How is SVT-VP9?
Wyatt Carter
Dunno, it'll be in my ffmpeg from upstream shortly I'm sure. I'm going to fucking recompile ffmpeg again, too. I can feel it.
