the result.mp4 cannot be played on the browser about supervision

Hi @wilsonlv 👋

Apologies for the late response and thank you for the report!
I've tested it, and yes, I can reproduce the issue.

The reason is that by default, we encode the output with the mp4v codec, whereas the input file you likely used was coded with h264. While the latter takes up less space, the former works more reliably with OpenCV.

I'll make a PR shortly, adding codec selection to sv.process_video. Although my tests show that the setup isn't trivial - OpenCV really doesn't like telling when it doesn't support the codec.

In the meantime, here's a command to convert to h264.

ffmpeg -i input-any.mp4 -c:v libx264 output-h264.mp4

Hope this helps 😉
