It may be a corrupted file. Try opening it in QuickTime Player. If it doesn't open, the file is likely lost.

If it opens in QuickTime player, you can export it with a codec TV will certainly recognize. use this apple support article to learn how. https://support.apple.com/guide/quicktime-player/export-movies-qtp20e395859/mac

If none of this works, how are you attempting to load the videos into TV?

Hope I''ve been of help! #psalm93
