@textovervideo Okay, then: Which file formats are not supported...? (Guess, this list could be much shorter... )

@mitscherdinger FFmpeg supports about 270 video formats. This number does not include the audio formats.

The issue is that not all these video formats have an encoder/decoder. And some of these video formats have more than one encoder/decoder.
