AVI Files about mat-video

[jgwinner]

Interestingly enough, I thought I was doing MPEG:

mp4 - MPEG-4 Part 14 H264 encoding

mkv - Matroska H264 encoding

hevc - H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

ffmpeg_video_codec mpeg4

I double checked the code, and found this out:

mpeg4 or msmpeg4 - gives you files with extension .avi

This isn't a "Motion" problem, I could probably change the format as it's a fairly closed system, but it did seem to me that avi was a common format. Thought I'd check.

The HTML5 browser spec only supports MP4 as the container for H264 encoding. It seems like your stream is correct, but try changing the container to MP4 as AVI is unsupported by HTML5.

The full list of supported formats can be found on MDN and W3Schools

If you intend to play AVI files, you will need a server to transcode them which is very expensive.

Closing this issue.
