Extend compatibility by allowing transcoding with multiple codecs #7506

Describe the problem to be solved

Context: I set up my instance to use the SVT-AV1 codec to transcode the videos, as it is the most efficient codec available today. However, not every devices support AV1 decoding nor support software decoding (e.g. AV1 video don't play on Safari except recent Apple devices).

You may suggest me to use VP9 instead, but from what I tested, the encoding time is worst than AV1 for same video quality.

Describe the solution you would like

Thus, a solution would be to have multiple video with different codecs.
This solution isn't perfect since it will require more storage, but at the cost of more compatibility.
