Hello OpenDrive,
I have enjoyed using your services, however, there are some substantial hinderances. Will OpenDrive's video player receive support for playing MOV files (Popular file type)? Is there a way to upload files larger than 30 gigabytes of data? Thank you.
There's a reasonably good chance that you can get a MOV file to play just by changing the extension to mp4 if it comes down to it. In the same vein, I wouldn't be surprised if just adding the MOV mime type to types the web player will open, it'll probably work for the same reason.
MOV isn't as common anymore, at least not on the Internet, compared to mp4 (which was derived from mov, which is why the above trick works most of the time). Then again, it probably depends on how old the mov file is. What it needs for that to work, in particular, is to have been encoded with h.264, so that browsers can decode the stream.
If it's something really old that was encoded with say, Sorenson or something else from that era, it probably won't work. That's where you get into MOV is a container(like mp4), and what is more important, is what codecs are the streams actually encoded with, which could me all sorts of things in a container.
