I get a file with the content as string on my php but this is not in a video format.

my js:

var myFile = new File(video.src);
var fd = new FormData();
fd.append('data', myFile);

and my php:

$f = $_POST['data'];
$decode = base64_decode(preg_replace('/^data\:image\/webp\;base64\,/', '', $f));

what is wrong?

A blob url is only usable in the browser that created it. So you cant use it on your server or copy and paste it into another browser or send the link to your friend etc.
What you need to do is get the blob that url was created from and use a FormData object and upload that to your server.
