Lossless vp9 4:4:4
-
Here's the file: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5-zDODl1jqDS0hDMC1YdWpjenM/edit (23 second video, no sound, SFW, [spoiler]Warning: Dwarf Fortress[/spoiler])
Unfortunately, everything I've tried to view this video responds in a different way.
- Chrome 37.0.2062.124 m (stable): plays video, but has lots of artifacts
- Chrome 39.0.2171.0 (canary): plays video correctly
- VLC 2.1.5: thinks the resolution is 100×57382, counts video time but does not display video
- YouTube (whatever version it is today): says the video is not a video
- ffplay N-66414-g3fe9629 (built on 2014-09-23): displays narrow green rectangle taller than my screen, prints "Marker bit was set" in red several thousand times
If this doesn't work, how will I share my 11-hour video?
-
To save us some time, how about listing the codecs? (Or I guess codec, since there's no audio.) The file download appears to be a .webm, is it really a .webm file?
I'll take a look when I get back to my desktop. I probably can't solve it, but I can at least run it though some more apps to see if they choke. (Vegas, at least.)

Mail-order 3.5" floppy disks.

VP9 in lossless mode with 4:4:4 color depth.
-
Ok, well I can give you some advice right now: in my experience with video work, any variation of any codec that doesn't appear in a thousand pirated BitTorrent videos is going to have really shitty support. I'm guessing the culprit here is your weird color depth. But I'm still not at a real computer.

Firefox does this

Ok I think you've picked a winner of a codec that has zero player support. I hope you still have the source files.
Vegas 12 sez: "nope, ain't touching that", which is pretty remarkable because Vegas usually at least pretends to be able to open anything, even if it then chokes on it or draws gibberish.
YAMB, which is generally good about fixing strange codecs and/or broken files correctly identifies it as a VP9 codec at 800x300 (your size is also weird and non-standard), but can't do anything with it other than identifying it correctly.
My suggestion: be less state-of-the-art. Nothing supports it. Or the file's plain ol' corrupted. What the holy hell did you use to do the playback the first time? I'm genuinely curious.
There's a couple of .avi modes that do pretty decent lossless compression, give those a try.

Chrome 39 supports it, but it won't be released for another 2-3 months.
-
Problem solved. Wait 3 months.

In the meantime, he got you to take a look at his Dwarf Fortress video. :-)
-
And you're not using h264 because funsies?
-
h264 and VP8 are old. The new hotness is HEVC and VP9.
-
So, funsies?
-
Pretty much.
-
Nope, nothing on my computer could play it. I only saw a black screen.
I win the ongoing fight against Dwarf Fortress videos.
-
And you're not using h264 because funsies?
Because it has no lossless mode and Dwarf Fortress is character-based and would look fuzzy and awful.
AFAIK, AVI is the only format/codec/container/whatever with a working and supported lossless mode.
-
Apparently it has a lossless mode, but it's only supported by ffmpeg.

i call shenanigans!
-
Firefox displays Google Drive correctly?
-
The logo comes from Google Drive.
I thought this was an elaborate scheme to trick us into loading a Dwarf Fortress video, but no, it really doesn't work in latest (non-Canary) Chrome. Phew.
-
ooooh.
/facepalm i shoulda seen that...
-
I hope you still have the source files.
I have 78MB of CMV files and a 3MB static-linked executable that converts those files into a 1.5TB stream of yuv4mpeg2 data.
1.5TB of disk space is a bit much to keep around, so my encoding script uses lots of named pipes.
-
Chrome 39 supports it, but it won't be released for another 2-3 months.
You have a canary, which you claim plays it nicely. And since ypou're probably going to be the only person to watch the video, problem solved.
-
That and the two or three friends he has (which may or may not be imaginary) that also play DF.
-
Dwarf Fortress is character-based and would look fuzzy and awful.
Would that really be any worse than awful, non-fuzzy Dwarf Fortress? In fact, I'd suggest the fuzzier, the better. Watching 11 hours of completely illegible fuzz would be preferable to 11 hours of DF.
-
None of my friends play Dwarf Fortress, unless you consider me one of @Quietust's friends.
-
I really hope you forgot an S in there.
-
Whoops, I did.
-
it's more accurate now, but i found it funnier without the s.
of course that does make me a bad girl...
-
It was grammatically incorrect so I fixed it.
-
as you should have, as i often do.
thus must humor lose to grammar, as is the way of the world
-

It was funnier without the S but I'm not a complete ass-hat so I checked that @ben_lubar had just forgotten as opposed to admitting in passing that he only has one friend.
-
if i had noticed i would have mentioned. i didn't until you did.
-
I would have gone with it, but the incorrect grammar was bugging me.
-
There is a reason I hold the coveted spellar badge, to the point where I actually reported one of the FAQ posts for a gramming mistake until I was reminded I had TEH POWAR to fix it myself.
