Why avi files are not yet supported?

when i want to upload a video file in avi format
this error appears: “avi files are not yet supported.”

Browser: Chrome 116

Roboflow uses your browser’s built-in support for video files to parse videos into frame images that you can use to train your models. Roboflow supports many different video formats, including MOV and MP4 files, depending on what browser you are using. Unfortunately, AVI format is not mentioned as a supported format due to browser incompatibility.

You can check specifically which video formats are supported by your browser here.

As a workaround, you might consider converting your AVI video to a supported format like MP4 or MOV before uploading it to Roboflow.
