I get this error when I attempt to play movies downloaded from google images on the QuickTime participant:
“This file accommodates some media which isn’t appropriate with QuickTime Participant. Would you prefer to open the file anyway?”
If I press “proceed” the QuickTime participant performs simply the audio from the video as if it have been an audio file.
Earlier than importing to iPhotos, these movies have been taken through iPhone or display screen recordings made utilizing QuickTime.
I’m utilizing QuickTime 10.5 on Mac OS 14.0 on a 2020 MacAir (M1). I am additionally utilizing iMovie 10.4 and ffmpeg 4.4
I’m able to repair this downside utilizing ffmpeg (see beneath), however that requires lots of time and did not used to have to try this. I consider this downside began throughout the previous few months or so.
Anything I can do?
Extra particulars:
I usually use iMovie to edit movies, exporting the consequence with larger high quality (which produces .mp4) after which alter video dimension and high quality with ffmpeg instructions similar to:
ffmpeg -i massive.mp4 -s 640:360 -c:a duplicate small.mp4
and even simply:
ffmpeg -i massive.mp4 small.mp4
Then I add to iPhotos. However later after I need to obtain, I get the above error when attempting to play the downloaded video through QuickTime. If, nonetheless, I run the next ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -i iPhotoDownload.mp4 transformed.mp4
The “transformed.mp4” will then play with QuickTime.
