AW: AW: [OT]h.264 alternatives

... and h.264 is not h.264, it depends on the codec being used! I am also
using h.264 videos on iOS and Android, but the fun stopped with the first
customers, who couldn't play my videos on some Android devices. Obviously my
choice of a Sorenson h.264 codec isn't compatible with all Android devices
(mostly LG) and I have no idea if there is any codec at all, which is
compatible with all Android devices. Sigh!

Hi Richard,
I also was looking for a cross-platform compatible codec a year ago and
wondered why it was still so complicated.  On the first sight I didn't found
any codec, which is available by standard on both platforms. I stopped my
further investigations after I found the LAV-filters solution for the h.264
codec.
But I wonder, which codec youtube converts all videos into or other
platforms are using so that their videos are almost always compatible with
all platforms. There must be any cross-platform codec or the browser video
players bring all available codecs with them, but they are not available
outside of the web player as in LC.

Thanks, Tiemo. That's a serious bummer.

It's 2017. Is there really no single codec available for Mac, Windows,
Linux, iOS, and Android which allows playback of a single video file?

Are we stuck in the yesteryear of having to query the user-agent and serve
different files according to the user's OS?

Extra bonus points if it's no patent-encumbered, but at this point I'll take
what I can get.
