What are the best practices for handling video formats in PHP to ensure compatibility across browsers?

When handling video formats in PHP to ensure compatibility across browsers, it is best to use HTML5 video tags with multiple source elements for different video formats (e.g., mp4, webm, ogg). This allows the browser to choose the appropriate format based on its compatibility. Additionally, it is recommended to use a video player library like Video.js or Plyr to handle cross-browser compatibility and provide a consistent user experience. 

<video controls>
  <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="video.webm" type="video/webm">
  <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
