Support for audio formats varies on different browsers. If the audio format in Source is not supported, the format specified in Alt Source 1 or Alt Source 2 is used. The browser selects the first recognized format to display the audio.
Note:To quickly add videos to the three fields, use multiple selection. When you choose three video formats for the same video from a folder, the first format in the list is used for the Source. The following formats in the list are used to auto-fill Alt Source 1 and Alt Source 2.
