Describe the bug

The following articles have videos that could not be played in Firefox on any platform because they’re encoded as HEVC/H.265:

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the article in the latest Firefox (119)
  2. See “No video with supported format found” error

Expected behavior

Videos available in Firefox

Screenshots

Desktop:

  • OS: macOS 14.0
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Version: 119.0 (64-bit)

Smartphone:

  • Device: Pixel 3a
  • OS: Android 12
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Version: 119.0

Additional context

Firefox doesn’t support HEVC/H.265 format yet. For better compatibility, it’s better to encode videos to H.264.

I am the author of the article, however I don't own the videos, they come from this article: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/entry-exit-animations/ I'm guessing they don't work there either? I'll pass the issue to Una in case she can fix them. Thanks.
