What

Mostly for updating it about the fact that we have ffmpeg now in the native viewer, but some more general polish and revamp.

maybe 🚧 doesn't quite cut it. It's not like we're working on it actively (we can't - hevc support is a legal issue for mozilla). But 🟧 is worse

When choosing a codec, we recommend [AV1](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Video_codecs#av1),
as it seems to have the best overall playback support while also having very high compression quality.
AV1 is also patent-free, and is the only codec we currently support in the native viewer (see [#7298](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/issues/7298)). H.264/avc is another popular choice, and native support for that is coming soon.

Since AV1 can have very long encoding times, it is often not yet suitable for streaming.
