"in theory, it does not matter, but MP4 is recommended and seems to be the most popular at the moment."
If I'm not mistaking, the <video> tag can't play MOV[0] so MP4 is the way to go.

- iskin 8y agoYeap. But technically, you can use WebM container (a subset of MKV) for AV1. Chrome and Firefox support it. But size is a little bigger and WebM container seems like is not really official for AV1.
- favorited 8y agoHuh. That's kinda surprising, since MP4 containers are really just a standardized extension of QuickTime. IIRC, it reads like they took the QuickTime spec, did a find-and-replace to change the word "atom" to "box," then added a couple of MPEG-specific enhancements.
