Dumb ass format.

why?

[–] argon@lemmy.today 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because it's not JXL

you're comparing a format released almost 15 years ago with one released ~2 years ago. does h264 suck just because h265 exists? it depends on support and what you're trying to accomplish.

How old before the computers aren’t able to read the format?

My very new Mac can’t read them because the OS doesn’t support in natively and I won’t use non-standard formats.
