but works for arbitrary video
file formats. There are some caveats involved though, most notably it doesn't
currently supports splitting so you can't easily use this output together

, and ogg
is supported by the HTML format and can thus be
shown in the RStudio viewer and inside HTML documents created with knitr.
Other formats will be opened in their default OS-specific viewer.
