ICA-AtoM uses FFmpeg to handle audio-visual digital material. It supports the following file formats.
- "Decoding only" = can steam / play but not record content.
Material in other formats can still be uploaded to ICA-AtoM, it just cannot be directly accessed / streamed within ICA-AtoM itself. Rather, in these cases the user must download the file from ICA-AtoM to his or her desktop and (assuming the user has the requisite software) access the content there.
