I have a serious question here for you anons.
Why is it that when webm's were introduced, everyone started to stop making Gif's and insisted they were worse in every way.
Webm's require more processing power than gifs, and if you've ever tried viewing more than 20 at a time you will realise this. They may have longer
Gif's are God-tier because once you have even a small collection you can view them all collectively with ease.
Pic related, It's how I view gif's. With webm's as mentioned it laggs out when more than 10-20 are there.

I think that only matters to you, weirdo

I'm just here to fap. Big decisions like this are best left to the suits in Washington.
>>8548090
>2016
>not having a powerful system to handle 20+ webms
>implying anyone would ever need to have more than 3 open at once...
OP you are a pathetic moron. I hope this is bait
>>8548090
Because webm have a way higher quality with and weight less. They're superior in every way compared to those shitty quality gif.
>>8548220
I dont understand why people wouldnt want more than 3 open at once? I mean with Gif's specifically they are usually no longer than 3-8 seconds. If I'm fapping I can usually only watch a single gif 2 or 3 times max before it loses its interest.
Personally, I have to see a lot of gif or webm's very quickly or simultaneously otherwise It's not worth it. I mean who would fap to just 1 thing on loop untill they are done?
Essentially all my original post idea is, is that if they are all on one page you can move your eyes from one to the other at will without using your hands to swap the gif/webm each time, surely im not the only one who thinks this is good
>>8548430
I'm not denying this at all. The File size, quality and length is great. They are a superior file type.
Its just that decoding aspect, decoding requires a lot more power and makes it less smooth in fap sessions personally,
Anyway thats just me

Nice anon, post moar
Webms are stupid and pointless unless they are over a min long, this is /gif/ not /webm/, this should be gifs only
>>8548090
source of all of this? haha
Never understood why people still care about gifs for porn. Are their computers too dinky to open webms?
Gifs annoy me because they're usually in small res, they're grainy, and short. I literally lose my boner looking at a gif.
I like webms especially when they're long because it gives me time to cum. They're also more fluid.
>>8550088
Webm's can be over a minute sometimes, but still that isnt long enough, so what about after that ends? You make a playlist or something? It just seems odd to me
>>8550281
Yeah dude. Playlist. Even if using was window MP
>>8550369
I've tried it and its decent, especially with the quality and length of the webm's.
I think I'm just so used to scrolling through hundreds of Gif's/jpg's at a time that looking at just one thing (other than a hd mp4) wont cut it
>>8548090
wow that is the gayest argument i have ever heard but ok
I used to like gifs but when webm became a thing it took over. Why would you choose a lower framerate and quality? I'm fapping I don't care about the filesize or processing speed of playing them.
As far as playing loads at once, I just play them zll in vlc, and have one and pressing next and one hand jerking. Webm allows long enough videos for it to be worthwhile to sometimes jerk with two hands. My eyes can only look at one video at a time (without looking like a fucktard) so any extra on the screen are essentially unnecessary. Also webm are good enough quality to put fullscreen without realising that you're wanking to flashing dots.
Having said that, to each his own, do what you will with your penis-mind and I hope you have fun doing it.
>webm related. This could never be encapsulated with a gif
I converted my 134gb mixed GIF/WEBM folder into WEBM and guess what?
It became a 35gb folder;
Your argument, please.
>>8548090
gifs have some advantages
namely they can convey something in a way that a webm is less suitable for, and which takes up more space, and more importantly, more time and processing power. all smart phones can view gifs though not all can view webms. moreover webm files are more direct: you basically always know that you're going to be getting a video. with gifs this is not the case. sometimes they are used for static images, and pictures. for an animation that doesn't ultimately have much motion, gifs tend to be better, like the one im posting
you may say, well for those purposes i suppose gifs may have some advantages, some of the time, but what about entertainment purposes like this site? surely webms will be better
some situations can be better conveyed as a gif; the possibilities it contains are oftentimes unfeasible and frankly inapplicable if you would try to do the same thing but as a webm file. whereas with webm, the possibilities of what can be shown can be different, but not necessarily more, with the ability to include sound, the ability for the file to offer you a more readily available way to pause, and also more feasible conversion to other video filetypes, though this still brings it within the reign of types with sound, generally speaking.
lastly, there are some current benefits to gifs outside all of what ive mentioned. this benefit is similar to the one that .swf (flash) files have, in that much of the content that was previously being made en masse using that type will be more difficult to convert and spread further among the web. there are a few tools out there that you can use to convert flash files to normal files such as those that can be uploaded to youtube, such as newgrounds' swivel tool, but most including swivel are either faulty, or you have to pay for it. as time goes on, much of these files will be lost to time, thus becoming more valuable to "collectors" such as *chan users like us who enjoy media archival
>>8548090
What app are you running that opens all those gif files simultaneously?
>>8548090
>if you've ever tried viewing more than 20 at a time you will realise this.
What's the matter, your cock won't get hard if you're only watching 15 pornos at once?
Seriously, if your knock on WEBMs is that your computer isn't powerful enough to display 20 of them at the same time, I think you might want to spend a little bit of time reflecting on your life.
>>8550400
Sauce on that pls ? That webm is glorious !
even arguing that you prefer gifs because you have a worse computer or internet is retarded because webms are much higher quality at much lower size
>>855057
It's an animated porn collage! life ambition fulfilled.
>>8550568
it's a web browser dumbass, you can't tell?
>>8548090
Normal people don't view them like that.
Also, audio
>>8548090
Other than insecure losers like you who feel the need to project themselves as superior in obscure ways, people only look at 1 or 2 at a time
>>8550571
>What's the matter, your cock won't get hard if you're only watching 15 pornos at once?
Pretty Much
>>8550568
I use an AutoHotkey script that basically takes all the Gifs/jpg (and so on) in one particular folder, sorts them all into a HTML page which it creates, and then I open that html page.
The link to the code I made is here
http://jamtag.co.uk/code/browser.ahk
>>8550473
Nice post, I guess I kind of knew most of this but its a good point of view
>>8550596
Doesnt matter how good your computer is, it will be very hard if not near imposible to open more than 50-100 at once, which I know isnt exaclty in the bounds of normal activity. I'm not saying that makes webm's worse though just different.
>>8550685
But that isn't what im doing, I've seen posts like I made in my original post before, which multiple ways to view gifs and/or webm's and I assumed a lot of people who come on here have ways to view many at once
Dont get me wrong, I enjoy webm's too and think they are great
>>8550400
Sauce please! That fondling of the balls while building up is glorious
>>8548455
You could rewrite your file viewer to generate gif thumbnails of the webm i guess.
>>8550589
yes, yes it is. Just look up Tina hot and you'll find it it isn't too hard to find
>>8550021
WOW, who is she
>>8552851
sauce
>>8548090
Both formats have their strenght. Gif is still viable as far as I am concerned.
>>8552906
sauce?
>>8552831
Hi I'm not to familiar with AutoHotkey scripts, how would I (no experience what so ever) be able to replicate your gif html page?
>>8553001
Very simple. Just download autohotkey (which is a language not a standalone program) its like 5mb max.
Then, you save the code I sent as whatever.ahk , with the .ahk being important. (start in notepad or something to save it)
Then you can simply run it. You can also compress it into an exe but I didnt do that as I think people would think its bait if I uploaded a random exe thats 2mb big and I posted it
>>8548765
If you make webms that long most will have have too low of a bitrate. Making them look like crap.
>>8548127
I keked
>>8548765
it's /gif/ because the board was created before webm. If it was created after, you bet your ass it would have been /webm/.
Also, if you think you should post gifs just because this is the /gif/ board, then why was the permission to post webms (with sound!) added at all?
If you guys like gifs more, then that's totally fine. And it's totally fine to share them and create threads dedicated to them. But trying to say they're superior is just silly. Let's weigh the pros and cons
Gifs:
>very low filesize for the information they hold. >They're a little snapshot of a scene and usually last short enough a time for them to have a certain character that a webm won't have. Like a single thrust or boob flash or part of an oface or whatever
>Easily viewed on a range of devices. There are a good few programs (I like Honeyview) which will group these with your photos for slideshows
>Little processing power required to play them
>Nostalgic
>Framerate is very low and quality often extremely grainy.
>If you dare fullscreen you see etch-a-sketch type boobs
>can't be longer than 10 seconds or so without the quality being unwatchable
But webms:
>Can be any length up to ~2min without quality being bad
>larger in size, but yet the filesizes are still low for what information they have. your porn collection will be very large. Mine's like 30Gb
>sound
>pausable/seekable
>very playable on machines but mobile is not as common
>60fps porn possible
>>8553027
I managed to follow you all the way until the running part. I'm able to run it and select a folder but upon selecting it, it doesn't do anything else.
>>8553103
Well, once you've ran it and selected a folder, it then creates the html file in the 'parent' folder (directly above the one you select) look there
>>8553831
You also have to click 'Ok' I guess if that isnt obvious
I don't care which format my porn is. But if I'm on my phone, I can't load webms...
>>8548090
>OP: I want gifs
>Literally everyone else: I want webms
how do we solve this?
for i in *.webm :; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vf scale=320:-1 -r 10 "$i".gif ; done;
>>8548090
I like to view my webms one at a time. Also, no static gifs, idiot.

>>8548439
dude stop fapping so much and watching so much porn. You literally have to have so much porn open simultaneously just to enjoy it and get off
>>8548439
>>8554795
Addendum: Just run 4-6 playlists set on random. You're not looking at "the same shit" over and over, and it maintains the "wall of porno" effect. Or get a better computer.
>>8554795
>>8554817
just to put a punctuation mark on those two clips...
So your argument is that, even though they're bloated and short and extremely low quality, gifs are better because they're easier to use for your personal, niche habit of viewing a lot at once? An advantage rendered moot by simply having a decent computer?
Well shit you've convinced me.
>>8554848
Yes, and I'm glad I convinced you
>>8555028
Did you seriously not detect that guy's sarcasm?
>>8548439
What a loser, wait till you get a girlfriend and can't cum because you have death grip
I can only view gifs. My lappy hangs on any audio video.
So I cant watch youtube/twitch/webms/VLC. Its like living in the stone ages.

OP, setting up a custom HTML page for gifs is probably about as accessible as getting a free video editor for picture in picture compiling of full HD things like this that would only take the processing power of 1 video, be in 32 bit color, and at 60 fps if you had the material for it. Not only could you share the result with us, you could have hour long endless clip shows that repeat as much or as little as you wanted, and could even make it have a theme or progression, like going from teasing to cumshots etc or whatever youre into.
I can sorta agree with OP as a person who frequently uses a mobile device to fap gif load smoother while webm's have to load through my video player and takes time to load so i have 2-3 secs of black load screen, and when the videos are like what 10 secs long i dont wanna spend a fourth of my jerking time looking at a black screen i just wanna get to the next gif which has probably loaded in the time while i was watching the previous gif
>>8555084
ITT OP gets rekt by webm's diversity
>>8555084
This is actually a very good point and one of the best posts so far. I will definitely think about doing this, although my webm folder is just an unorganised mess of like 10gb atm as I havnt bothered sorting that out yet.
>>8548090
I do the same and I never noticed it being slower with more webms. maybe you should get a computer instead of a potato with a screen
>>8555542
I have a 8gb Laptop with an i5 but no graphics card. I think the lack of graphics card is the issue.
>>8555709
Depending on where you live, you might be able to find a decent graphics card on Craigslist (or similar).
>>8555904
It's a laptop, you can't install a graphics card
>>8555084
Had a look around, but cant seem to find anything yet that is easy enough I can get working. What do people use to edit/create webms?
>>8556086
Okay so after a confusing battle with ffmpeg I finally managed to make one, if only there was an easy way to get 9 in one video....
