Hey Board Owner, contributors
Now that halfchan has .webms with sound, we need to do our best to prevent them from stealing our OC.
The best way to do this is to stop posting .webms, and convert to .mp4.
However, I don't know of any good .mp4 conversion tools like webmconverter or webmforretards, and there isn't any good info about it in the sticky.
We need to do an overhaul of our tools and culture to prevent 4chan from stealing it.

We really don't.

>we need to only use mp4
Mp4 is very easy to convert to webm. The only way to prevent halfchan stealing our webms is to make them all well over 4mb so cutting would be problematic for them.

>>6666well, Satan doesn't lie. I guess we just need to stop posting tiny webms.

Posting only mp4s is not a good idea as webms are technologically better.

I don't care about board wars, I post and lurk everywhere where I enjoy posting and lurking. Funnily enoug somebody on halfchan accused me of stealing from here even though I was just reposting my WebM.
When more people see and produce content the content gets better.

>>6664Fuck .mp4s, they don't play on my machine and I'm not going to open up a hole them.
A better idea would be to slap an 8chan banner (text) on each video, so they know where they came from.

I hate halfchan as much as you, but that just sounds retarded.
If you really want to restrict your OC to 8chan you should make webms with higher filesize, not in shit mp4 that doesn't even play for most people.

Just add a small watermark.

No.6772
>>6770I think people are just concerned about their webms being stolen and passed off as 4chan originals, because that's essentially what 4chan is doing now, stealing things like Reddit does and passing them off as their own.
I still think 4.1 MB file size Webms are the way to go, with a watermark being the LAST resort, but nothing to huge so as to attract the attention of the do-it-for-free janitors.

If they steal just shit on them like everyone does with 9gag.

I saw a thread somewhere suggesting that people should put a visible 8ch.net watermark in the Webms. This is the only way to prevent them from being posted at halfchan because such videos and the posts with such videos are deleted and you probably get banned there
I personally think this is an individual choice. If people who are making their WebMs hate halfchan so much they are welcome to do it IMHO

The file size, mp4s and VP9/opus support are limit enough. People are going to steal shit regardless of what you do, and slapping logos on some video you didn't even make because you encoded it into a small enough webm to post here as if that amounts to you "owning it" is just retarded.

Never convert from lossy to lossy that's would legally authorize me to skin you alive you fucking heretic plebs.
Most vids go over 4MB anyway so I don't care. If you are too concerned add some watermark (some russian chan even does that for you) but that's lame and literally 9gag tier. I don't see them actively stealing shit they seem too stagnated and repetitive even for that.
