Greetings,
I am just getting started with some video processing, etc. However, I have a
need to run on a iOS device or Mac OS X. I have VLC but I need to be able to use
iOS apps to play these videos, but QuickTime barfs on them.
They seem to play okay if I media serve them out to the iOS device, but I do need
to get them to play on QuickTime.
The original videos are MPEG-H Part 2/HEVC (H265). Here is the output of ffprobe
<video.mp4> -hide_banner:
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'Video1.mp4':

QT simply gives up and says it cannot play this video. VLC has no problems.
I attempted to convert to H.264, thinking that might be the issue using the
ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -i Video1.mp4 -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb -sn -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -vcodec
libx264 Video1.ts
However, QuickTime, again, barfs while VLC works just fine. When I look at the
covered file using ffprobe I see -
Input #0, mpegts, from 'Video1.ts':
Duration: 00:07:24.28, start: 1.423311, bitrate: 6129 kb/s
Program 1
Metadata:
service_name : Service01
service_provider: FFmpeg
Stream #0:0[0x100]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B),
yuvj420p(pc, progressive), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 60 fps, 60 tbr, 90k tbn,
120 tbc
Stream #0:1[0x101](eng): Audio: mp2 ([3][0][0][0] / 0x0003), 48000 Hz,
stereo, fltp, 384 kb/s
So I am unsure what needs to happen to get QuickTime to grok it (QuickTime is not
saying why it won't open). Is it the audio? converting form aac to mp2?
Any pointers you can give this noob would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
