I am trying to view .mov video clips / files coming from a wildlife camera in the editor and possibly on a dashboard. However, I can not find any Node-RED contrib that is able to handle the .mov extension. Does anyone know how to handle this. Maybe even a conversion to .mp4 first. If yes, how do I do this in Node-RED. Tips are welcome! Thanks

If I needed a media file conversion then I would try ffmpeg run by the exec node
