How can QuickTime Player play a mp4 video?

On my Mac, QuickTime Player does not play any of my mp4 videos. I changed the format from .mov to mp4 in Final Cut Pro on my videos but QuickTime will not play them. It shows correct codecs, What to do?

It shows correct codecs.

Which codecs are those?


does not play any of my mp4 videos.

None at all? Not even this one?


If all you want is playback, then try VLC or IINA.

If you insist on QuickTime Player compatibility, then that may need some more troubleshooting and analysis.
