VideoCull uses FFmpeg and FFprobe to generate thumbnails and metadata, so it can inspect many common video formats even when in-app playback is not available.

​
Built-in player

The built-in player is intended for compatible web-playable media such as:
  • .mp4
  • .webm
  • .mov
  • .mkv
  • .m4v
  • .ogv
Playback still depends on the underlying codecs supported by Chromium.

​
External player fallback

Legacy or unsupported formats such as the following should be opened in your default system player instead:
  • .avi
  • .wmv
  • .asf
  • .flv
  • .ts
  • .mts
  • .mpeg
Those files can still be scanned, thumbnailed, filtered, rated, and marked for deletion inside VideoCull.
If a file should work in-app but does not, open it in your external player first to check whether the media itself is damaged or the issue is player compatibility.
