Players and source code
Video.js provides the video controls. Every card identifies the extra adapter used for its original format. HLS uses Video.js HTTP Streaming or native browser HLS. Older codecs can be converted locally by ffmpeg.wasm. XAP video extraction uses fflate.
The MP4 previews were prepared by decoding the actual media samples with FFmpeg, then encoding H.264 video. M3U and RAM previews use their referenced media; the XAP preview uses its bundled clip. QVT’s preview is a labeled companion, not evidence of a valid Quantum stream.
Format names describe containers, codecs, playlists, and packages with different capabilities. DivX is an AVI/MPEG-4 Part 2 compatible DX50-tagged example; M4V uses the MP4-family interpretation. No browser plugin is required for the prepared previews.
