&gt; Also: video is harder to share and is typically recompressed on every upload, reducing quality.<p>This is such a terrible standard. Using FFprobe, one should be able to determine a video&#x27;s fitness for universal playback on HTML5 streaming technologies. Automating this process is easy. I&#x27;ve built several high-volume media processing automation platforms for video, and never has this been a challenge for me. Could you (or others) shed some light on why devs don&#x27;t do this?
