Starting point: MP4 - H.264 video with AAC audio in one file. H.264 has no alpha channel, so transparency is dropped. Live-archive headers can confuse players; remuxing usually repairs them. Encode ASF (WMV2 / WMA) from MP4 at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
