What's your glitch?: An ode to datamoshing
summary
Explains that datamoshing works by manipulating compressed frames not by vague aesthetics and shows concrete steps and tools: render uncompressed YUV in QuickTime and After Effects, encode to AVI with FFmpeg, use AVIglitch to remove I-frames except the first and repeat the last P-frame obsessively, then rebake to MP4. Demonstrates why AVI’s RIFF MOVI and JUNK chunks make this easy, compares MPEG‑1/2/4 behaviors, and reports which codecs and size mismatches produce the most surprising artifacts.
