Smallest possible Ogg/WebM files

[mathiasbynens]

Suggested by @zcorpan:

What's the smallest possible Ogg/WebM file? @foolip suggested 0 kbps Vorbis silence or a black or green Theora or VP8 frame.

• WebM
• Ogg

[foolip]

Vorbis needs codebooks which could be big, which is why a 4x4 green (Y,U,V=0,0,0) VP8 frame or 8x8 Theora frame may be smaller. Just guessing, though.

The shortest WebM video file I could come up with is 185 bytes:

data:video/webm;base64,GkXfo0AgQoaBAUL3gQFC8oEEQvOBCEKCQAR3ZWJtQoeBAkKFgQIYU4BnQI0VSalmQCgq17FAAw9CQE2AQAZ3aGFtbXlXQUAGd2hhbW15RIlACECPQAAAAAAAFlSua0AxrkAu14EBY8WBAZyBACK1nEADdW5khkAFVl9WUDglhohAA1ZQOIOBAeBABrCBCLqBCB9DtnVAIueBAKNAHIEAAIAwAQCdASoIAAgAAUAmJaQAA3AA/vz0AAA=

Single-frame 8×8px WebM video without sound.

WDYT?

Lovely. This is what I needed. :)

I would like a WebM with both a audio and video track
