High quality GIF with FFmpeg

I like to imagine going back in time to 2005-06 and telling myself "You know what's going to come back in a big way? Animated GIFs!"

I wouldn't believe myself whatsoever.

I would like to go back in time to 1993 and make Tim Berners-Lee add video support to the <img> element so that we could do things like this today:

  <img src="video.mp4" width="800" height="450" volume="0" autoplay loop>

If this had happened no one would need to use GIFs. :(

Marc Adreessen came up with <img>[1], not TimBL.

Besides, it's easy today to frown upon the choices made at a time where common image formats included XBM, a plain text subset of C!

One day, people will be sad that we didn't anticipate 3d models in <img>. It makes no sense to add support with the current state of technology.
