mjpeg? It's used in many DC/DV.

We need a copy-pastable, mute by default <video> format to replace GIFs.

Motion JPEG is arguably even worse than GIF. It's literally just a sequence of JPEG images -- there's no extra compression; 100 frames of MJPEG are 100 times larger than a single image. GIF is a bad format for videos, but at least it can try to be more efficient than this.
