Hi,

I have a couples of AV1 videos that I would like to display on a html page.

I've tried
<video controls preload="none">
    <source src="FooBar.mp4">
</video>
but it trow back

I've tried first with MKV container as it's listed on the wikipedia page.

but this is not listed on the mozilla page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Video_codecs 🤔

Confusing.. as I found also this in the firefox release note:

Firefox 97 and later versions support AV1 video in the MKV container.

So WTF !?

I've tried also
<video controls preload="none">
    <source src="FooBar.mp4" type="video/webm; codecs='av01.0.08M.08'">
</video>
but that change nothing...

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
