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 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.

  Trevor Seward has a list of the types supported in SP 2013 at https://thesharepointfarm.com/2013/01/supported-file-formats-in-the-sharepoint-2013-media-web-part/.
  
  I don't know how this may have changed in SPO/2016 however, i would recommend that you consider a 2nd migration project to move the videos from Asset Libraries to the Video Portal channels.
