mp4 video not supported in Impress
I am unable to insert an mp4 video in OO 4.1.2 in either windows 10 or Macos. Is there a fix for this?

I asked about the ability to embed other formats to understand if you were able to embed anything, not to imply that you needed to encode in another format.
The other point is that mp4 is a container and dues not imply the codec. I eclectic that the problem is either am inability to embed anything or that the codec is not supported. I suppose it is possible that the mp4 container is not supported but I think that is not accurate.

I can convert the video or I can link to the mp4 file in the same directory. I had hoped to be able to avoid either of these steps.

First question, since I know little to nothing about this that is not
many years out of date:
Q1: Are you able to insert other video formats? The obvious OGG Vorbis
format comes to mind.
If you can embed other formats, then....
MP4 is just a container, do you know what codec is used to encode the
contained video? It is similar to saying that you cannot play the video
contained in a ZIP file. OK, so the comparison is not really good,
but....
If the codec used is not supported, then for certain you cannot do it.
I spend little to no time doing this sort of thing, but, I believe that
you can use a program called "mediainfo", but I would first check to see
if your OS supports just giving you that information with an already
installed tool:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/
https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
Again, I have NOT tried these two programs, but I found it listed in
the following article that lists five tools to find out about the codecs
used
https://www.raymond.cc/blog/determine-audio-video-codec-required-to-play-downloaded-movies/
Now, that said, give this a read:
