Why the video?

edit

Hey, could you justify this change you made to the precession article? The video file is 1.3 MiB as opposted to the 224 KiB of the GIF, and while in larger dimensions the video is just an interpolated upscaling of the GIF. Additionally, the GIF file has pixel-perfect compression (except for the colors limit), as opposed to the lossy compression of the video. I don't see any advantage on making that change. — LucasVB | Talk 21:11, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The data volume for the video is only generated if the visitor wants to see the animation. At this point I see no advantage for one or the other option. The major advantage of a video is, that it only starts if you want to and you can stop it as well, nothing you can do with a GIF. Thus you have no annoying moving thing in view while reading the article.
