Can you explain what a webm is?It's an open video format. All it really means is that you can stick a webm file onto any webpage and contemporary browsers will play it. Most video streaming sites use Adobe's Flash Player to play media. Webm doesn't need that to play video. Your browser (assuming you use either Chrome or Firefox) will play the media directly.
Bottom line: You can post videos in FAKKU! forums now. They can have audio in them and it beats using gifs. You could already embed YouTube videos but those are subject to YouTube's rules. Your Webm vids can have tentacles, dicks, and what have you.
And for a minor clarification, FAKKU! isn't hosting the videos. You have to upload them elsewhere and link to it inside an img tag.
I have been wondering.
Guessing the introduction of webms has something to do with HTML5, which I hear allows the use of video playback without a codec.

Free and open video format designed to provide royalty-free high-quality video compression for use with HTML5 video. Sponsored by Google.Yes. There are actually a number of different media formats that browsers support but WebM seems to be the most widely supported of them.

can the longer detailed stuff be explained without the jargon? :p
Well I just listed a few media formats.
WebM is a format that was developed by Google and based off the .mkv format (the format that a majority of subbed animes use). .mkv is capable of holding an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. WebM essentially allows it to be implemented onto websites and provides a royalty-free (so free) substitute to the code used in HTML5. Only problem is that WebM is new and not many programs can edit WebMs very well yet.
Tl;dr: WebM provides a way of storing large videos and other files in one place on websites without having to pay.

Let me try to explain what a webm is very short but sweet.
It's a video format that can be used as a gif. But it's much better than a gif because it supports audio and has a much higher quality/filesize ratio meaning; more bang for your buck.
If you want to start making 'em then head over to the other webm thread and look for my post around page 3 or 4. It has all the tools you need.

Web Media (WebM) is an open-source, multimedia container based on Matroska (MKV). The WebM project is being headed by Google and the container has seen widespread adoption since becoming a royalty-free format usable with HTML5 video, which also supports Vorbis (OGG) and MPEG-4 (MP4).
