I did get a kick out of this from the OP: > Binary: Born from YouTube compression being absolutely brutal. RGB mode is very sensitive to compression as a change in even one point of one of the colors of one of the pixels dooms the file to corruption.
It's more than youtube compression -- video compression in general wreaks absolute havoc on our meticulously arranged (and sometimes colored) pixels. It's actually pretty fun/instructive to step through the transition between (what you want to be) two distinct frames when you're trying to (ab)use video for this sort of use case -- there are segments of the frames that get correlated and "flip" together first, resulting in in-between frames that are gibberish even with a modest amount of ECC in play.
