Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.
Inspired by Ben Wallace, I made a bot that crawled YouTube and found 5 million of these videos! Watch them below, ordered randomly.
Highest quality
Gifski makes smooth GIF animations using advanced techniques that work around the GIF format's limitations.
Share your clips in their full quality, not a bland dithered mess.
Good compression
Gifski lets you resize animations and tweak compression levels, so you can make your GIFs fit within upload file size limits.
It's more advanced than a simple color reduction.
State of the art
Gifski uses pngquant for the best palettes with temporal dithering. It can achieve thousands of colors per frame.
It supports true lossy LZW compression and temporal smoothing and denoising.

What makes these tools unique are the ratecontrol systems which achieve those goals.
This package is based on my original collection of Video Transcoding Scripts written in Bash. While still available online, those scripts are no longer in active development. Users are encouraged to install this Ruby Gem instead.
Most of the tools in this package are essentially intelligent wrappers around Open Source software like HandBrake, FFmpeg, MKVToolNix, and MP4v2. And they're all designed to be executed from the command line shell:
transcode-video Transcode video file or disc image directory into format and size similar to popular online downloads.
detect-crop Detect crop values for video file or disc image directory.
convert-video Convert video file from Matroska to MP4 format or from MP4 to Matroksa format without transcoding video.
query-handbrake-log Report information from HandBrake-generated .log files.
Caption takes the effort out of finding and setting up the right subtitles. A simple design, drag & drop search, and automatic downloading & renaming let you just start watching. Caption is multi-platform, open-source, and built entirely on web technology.

Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls.
It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.
Take back the power… and the responsibilities!
PeerTube isn’t a single video hosting platform with a single group of rules: it’s a network of dozens of interconnected hosting providers, and each provider is composed of different people and administrators. You don’t like some of the rules? You’re free to join the hosting provider of your choice, or even better, be your own hosting provider with your own rules!
Take control of your content
PeerTube allows you to share all your videos. Being in direct contact with a human hosting provider (or becoming your own) allows you to choose how their broadcasting is done. Your videos will benefit from tools to fill description, categorization, choosing a preview image and marking videos as not safe for work. Tweaking the Support button will allow you to show your audience how you want them to support your work.
Putting the users first
You’re a person, not a product. PeerTube is a free/libre software financed by a French non-profit organization: Framasoft. All instances are created, animated, moderated and maintained independently. PeerTube isn’t submitted by any company monopole, doesn’t depend on ads and doesn’t track you. With PeerTube you’re not a product: PeerTube is at your service, not the other way around.
Become an actor of your videos broadcasting
When you watch a video with PeerTube, the WebTorrent technology allows you to be part of the broadcasting of this video with the viewers who are watching it at the same time. This video stream sharing allows a healthier distribution of exchanges on the network. Moreover, the federation protocol (ActivityPub) allows to publish the videos and comments on other platforms that support it, such as Mastodon! (experimental)
