Limits
Starting point: MP4 - H.264 video with AAC audio in one file. H.264 has no alpha channel, so transparency is dropped. Old codecs inside may need transcoding before modern players open them. Encode AVI (MPEG-4 / MP3) from MP4 at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
