On: How Facebook encodes videos

[mrtksn]

Nothing is bad as reddit video that would load random segments instead of consequential ones or Twitter video that would be 3 seconds on 4K 20 seconds 144p 5 more seconds in buffering or Vimeo that’s buffering all the times on 100Mbps connection.

Moral of the story: Video is hard, apart from Youtube, Twitch, Netflix and Amazon Prime I don’t know any service that plays video flowlessly. O.K. maybe some ad networks too.

Peertube and torrents are the future.

If Vimeo can't get it right, I don't think Peertube will.
