    The title doesn’t do it justice. This is using an obscure feature of the jpg format to make a jpg animated!

    Amaze! Amaze!

    I didn’t think it was possible to invent a worse format than .gif for moving pictures.

    Congratulations!

          Ultra audio and video compression for dialup internet. 250x compression with predictable results. You could speed up/slow down audio without changing the pitch, which was kind of cool in 1995.

            Oh the adpcm codec used with a lot of the old POTS. I was thinking you were talking a more like for like. Image to image. Having studied telcom in college in the mid 90s. Yes I know that vox 😀

      Gif is perfect for showing small animated icons and simple pictures, not complete movies. The problem is more on the user side, expecting too much from a 37 year old standard.
