PayToLaugh - upload your pet, pick a topic, get a video of them weighing in
Sending the video itself by MMS puts it through carrier transcoding and it arrives looking far worse than it left. So the picture carries the hook and a link carries the video at full quality. The still is 720x1280 and lands around 90KB at near-maximum quality — carrier limits are typically 600KB and up, so there is no reason to compress hard. The frame is chosen by sampling several moments and keeping the one that compresses largest, which in practice means eyes open and in focus rather than mid-blink. The play button sits at two thirds height so it never covers the face. |
