OK, then convert to a compatible format upload that (however to fully support the video tag, you'll need multiple formats to match what the browsers want- mp4/ogg/webm).

BTW, because of the way ogg containers are constructed, you should have better luck with them than mp4.

I have a server with files. Not all of them are  HTML<video> tag
compatible. I want to be able to play them in a browser, but I don't
want to keep another copy with another format on the server.
Just do it, life will be much simpler.

And I can not convert them and have the converted copy either because I
must be able to give back the original file to the user.Don't erase the 
original file?

https://web.dev/media/ has some useful info about using the video tag.

You're much better off pre-converting the files. Is there any specific reason you can't do that?

Later,

z!
