And bear also in mind that the Video formats you mention are supported by Office 365 Video that uses Azure Media Servies while this is not true on an Assets Library

I'm not sure why those would not be working, but I do know that the Office Video portal provides a lot of functionality that is not avaialble from a SP Asset Library. Is there a reason that you are not using the Video portal?

Thanks for your reply. In fact with the office Video Portal we can't create Subchannels and/or subfolders. Also we look for custom permissions per file (or per Subfoder).

I think that some of those features are on the roadmap for Office Video (or its replacement Stream). You may want to ask Marc Mroz about that in the Video Community Space at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Video/bd-p/VideoGeneral

    I have the same question which was not answered in this thread. I realize that the O365 Video functionality has more video file options, but O365 video will not be an option for our migrated SharePoint sites. Can you please provide the video file types acceptable and supported in an asset library? Thank you.
