    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

      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.

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

    lol how quirky and random!!! :3

    video compression doesn’t compress noise very well, so files with a lot of random noise will be very big!! and take up a lot of space on their servers!! and use a lot of bandwidth for reddit to serve!!!

    hahahahaha it’s such a pisces thing to do~

    Aside from your brilliance, Reddit’s doing a pretty decent job of screwing up their platform and clogging it up with BS AMAs without us.

    Isn’t AWS S3 dirt cheap?
