  • So I'm making a game containing a lot of pre-rendered video. This all works fine when running layouts, but when exporting to nw.js, nothing works. Could this be because I only have an H.264 source? WebM always exports to horrible quality for me so I was hoping to avoid it.

    Thank you

    Thank you. Will WebM or OGG work?
