i remember this. i asked him and someone knowing him to make a video of him holding the phone to his ears. and when he did that i realized this is more important than i thought. i asked him to watch concentrated and tense. it helped out alot. i don't know where. wish i knew.
the gif is btw 3,45MB big and the webm 951KB. so not even 1MB.
i just use xmedia recode and no options changed. well i change the bitrate. i don't know how the bitrate would be in comparsion to the gif. but VP8 is the videocodedc on 4chan. if you want and can use audio, it's vorbis.
