Yes, you’ll never see an av1 file. Typically it’s in a webm container. mkv is common too.
People tend to like videos with audio and subtitles.

Why odt over HTML?
4 0 Replymarkdown (md) or org for notes/things that don't require much formatting.
I'm not in a place to make points for which one's better.
4 0 ReplyAsciiDoc for plain text markup. It handles more use cases, and has fewer ambiguities in the standard than Markdown.
