You didn't ask me, but you might want to know that I just tried generating one of these and posting it in r/1GBVidsOfRandomNoise. It seems reddit compressed my beautiful 1GB video to hell:
Compressing 909MB down to 28MB must require some serious compression, must be pretty processer intensive for the reddit servers doing that
