Re:AnimGIFs need a better codec by Titanbase on Sunday July 20, 2014 @01:10AM (#8059635)
Yeah, sometimes video formats are better, but for some purposes AnimGIFs are fine.

How difficult it seems to pick a default codec for the web+mobile web?

EDIT: Looks like everyone is concerned with it being open source, but they don't want to pay for it? Or they can pay for it and get a commercial license. Either way, you should be forced to pay! XD

We refused to pay the GIF royalties and we'll continue to do so for newer formats.
