Multimedia type recommendations for HTML5 export



All Web browsers don’t support the same multimedia types, it is therefore required to provide media files in multiple encodings to ensure proper running on all main browsers.
Warning: multimedia file transcoding can lead to a loss in quality. When doing so, it is crucial to choose carefully the software and settings used.

These recommendation will concern the following browsers on their last version (27 august 2014):
- Chrome/Chromium
- Safari
- Firefox
- Internet Explorer (IE)
- Opera (not supported yet)

MP3 and ACC supported by all except Firefox GNU/Linux and Mac (need a third party library)
