So you are saying that despite knowing the settings youtube-dl used when
recording the file, it is not possible to use that knowledge when using
ffmpeg to play the file back (barring damage while recording the file
which I have no evidence for)?
You may know certain settings when the file was created but you don't know things like the specifics of the streams in the container (such as "where does it start in the file?"); the moov atom is effectively the Table of Contents for an MP4 container.

Oh, and you have plenty of evidence of file damage- it's in the error messages you posted; if it wasn't damaged, it should easily play with all the tools mentioned.


Search for "moov atom not found"- you'll find a lot of discussion on the matter. One _possible_ solution is something called "untrunc", which I have not tried. If the moov atom just isn't there, I don't think ffmpeg will help you.
