People who look after Chrome’s media decoding are an awkward bunch, they point blank refuse to support <img src=*.mp4 for example


Seems entirely reasonable, considering that <img> is for images, whereas mp4 is for videos, no?


Doesn't make sense when they support GIF or animated WebP as images. Animated WebP in particular is just a purposely gimped WebM that should not exist at all and would not need to exist if we could use video files directly.
