I would say that Gfycat and Mediacru.sh are actually the leading competitors in this area.
Is Mediacru.sh banned from Reddit? I just saw a thread the other day where someone said the domain was blocked by admins to prevent it from competing with their preferred service (probably Gfycat).
I dont get the trick.Is it gif or a h264 video inside a "gif" container? looking at the source code,I see a video tag.
(Well, actually, the .gifv is just a web page that holds the tags for the mp4, but...)
Can't we just all settle for .webm? The cancerous patented MP4/H264 combination must die.
I don't know if its just me, but the GIFVs embedded on the page dont load for me, unless I click on them to open them in a page on their own, and the second one doesn't play even in this case. Firefox 32.0.3 on Linux
an animated gif is not necessarily a video clip, but it seems that i'm in the minority these days. here's a gif by nicolas sassoon, which format would you prefer? http://i.imgur.com/fv0qgkc.gif (1.3 MB) or http://i.imgur.com/fv0qgkc.gifv (3.9 MB)

That site actually uses the superior VP8 compression format in a WebM container.
Superior in what sense? Not quality or file size.
"With all these improvements, Imgur will now denote converted MP4s with a .gifv extension. The intention is to signal to users throughout the Internet that these links will feature a GIF experience that incorporates all the current and future enhancements made through Project GIFV. Imgur plans to submit an accompanying specification to relevant standards organizations before the end of the year." This is bizarre. GIF…
GIFV will help communicate 2 things: 1) this file is audio free 2)this file is safe (people don't generally worry about getting a virus from a gif).

This is a marketing endeavor that is pretending to be a technical innovation.
