+ \section1 Audio and Video Codec Support
+
+ Qt WebEngine supports the MPEG-4 Part 14 (MP4) file format only if the required proprietary
+ audio and video codecs, such as H.264 and MPEG layer-3 (MP3), have been enabled. Proprietary
+ codecs can be enabled by passing the following option to qmake:
+
+ \code
+ qmake WEBENGINE_CONFIG += use_proprietary_codecs
+ \endcode
+
+ \warning When distributing proprietary codec libraries, you must acquire licenses for them.
+
+ \l FFmpeg is a cross-platform solution to record, convert, and stream audio and video. It can
+ be configured for use with several codecs, which rises licensing issues during distribution
+ with the codec libraries. For some codecs, open source implementations, such as \l {OpenH264},
+ are available.
