Capability guide
Browser video workflows are shaped by playback support, recording support, capture APIs, and the device itself. This guide explains why those limits exist and why a trustworthy tool should surface them instead of pretending every browser can do every video job.

Benefits
A guide to browser-native video support, MediaRecorder reality, playback limits, and why honest restrictions build trust.
Once you understand the support model, it becomes easier to choose between workflow routes and format-pair routes.
A product that explains where it stops is easier to rely on than one that claims to support everything.
Reading the support picture early prevents wasted effort in the wrong browser or on the wrong device.
Tradeoffs
Being able to view the video does not mean the browser can re-encode it safely.
MP4, WebM, MOV, and audio extraction all depend on different pieces of the environment.
Stable frame extraction is often a better promise than pretending full local transcoding is universal.
