Video Formats Test Results
REMEMBER: On macOS we use QuickTime/(AVFoundation) for video playback. If the framework doesn't support video playback of a particular codec, LibreOffice probably won't, either.

Notes from Alex's testing in :

''
 * 1) Start Impress
 * 2) Insert a video file
 * 3) Start slideshow display

Expected: video should play and be visible with sound''

Test 1
Video testing

Test 2
Testing video playback on macOS

Test 3: Removing QuickTime integration from LibreOffice
Alex writes:

Removed libavQuickTimelo.dylib from installed application bundle

Test: Loaded my test Impress file containing the inserted video files from.

CONCLUSION: Removing the libavquicktimelo.dylib library from the LO application bundle does not correctly fallback to the libAVF library.

Video: 4.4.0.1

 * macOS 10.9.5 x86-64
 * Testing with TDF build of LibreOffice 4.4.0.1 RC
 * Using the system's QuickTime Player Version 10.3 (727.4)
 * (As expected) Trying to install WebM or XiphQT Components support into QuickTime does not appear to have an effect on the codecs supported by QuickTime
