What is in this file

40,766 frames (22 min 39 s) of a synthetic test pattern with a frame counter, looping every six seconds, in one VP9 video track. The index of key frames comes before the picture data, so a player can seek without reading the whole file. 297 bytes of an EBML Void element bring the file to the exact size.

Where 50 MB matters

A 52,428,800-byte file: exactly the size at which Git hosting on GitHub starts warning about large files, and about the limit for a zipped AWS Lambda package uploaded directly.

Testing notes for WebM

WebM and MKV share a signature, so a sniffer has to read the document type to tell them apart.
H.264 and AAC are not allowed in WebM. A file with those codecs and a .webm extension is really Matroska, and browsers may refuse it.
