    You didn’t ask me, but you might want to know that I just tried generating one of these and posting it in r/1GBVidsOfRandomNoise. It seems reddit compressed my beautiful 1GB video to hell:

    • Input video: 909MB
    • Video stored on Reddit’s servers: 28MB

      Unacceptable for any true connoisseur of 1GB videos of random noise. I want to see every flashing pixel in full HD

      Compressing 909MB down to 28MB must require some serious compression, must be pretty processer intensive for the reddit servers doing that

        Hardware encoders are common and “cheap” these days. They may not be as good as properly tuned software based encoders, but they are fast.

        Have you ever seen commonly reposted videos on Reddit? They go from 1080p to like 12 pixels total within a couple of weeks.
