Comment (by der_richter):
i can't tell you if it can be fixed within ffmpeg or if it is just a
limitation of the videotoolbox API provided by Apple. that is a question
for someone who actually worked on the code in ffmpeg and has more
experience with the videotoolbox API and its limitations. so if you think
it's not an issue with ffmpeg but upstream i am perfectly fine if this
ticket is closed.
as a simple user though, i would expect a normal 4K UHDBD to
playback/decode in realtime when any hwdec is used and advertised as
supported. otherwise it should fallback to sw decoding. VLC for example
gets a "videotoolbox warning: vt session error: 'kVTInvalidSessionErr'"
and falls back to sw decoding.
also on a side note, copying the video stream into a mp4 container to make
it readable with quicktime player also shields a "The file isn’t
compatible with QuickTime Player." error, and it won't be played back.
