Unable to play MOV/MPEG4-files (AVC codec)

[umlaeute]

Investigating more with decoding issues, I converted the file used in #5 with ffmpeg to a MOV-container (which also seemingly changed the Codec):

$ ffmpeg fmpeg -i S071C018_210930_FNIY.mxf  test.mov

Gmerlin still cannot play this file back:

$ gmerlin-play test.mov 
no more csLADSPA plugins
Setting audio stream 0
Setting subtitle stream -1
[player] Opening location: test.mov
[       0:00 ]/[       0:00 ][ffmpeg_video] Unsupported pixelformat 68
[track] Starting video decoder for stream 1 failed

While gmerlin does not crash, it apparently hangs while repeatedly calling clock_nanosleep().

Again this is not using the latest and greatest gmerlin/gmerlin-avdecoder/gavl from git, but those versions found in Debian (svn6298, with some FFmpeg5 patches applied).

Looks like this file has a resolution > 8 bit. Can I have a sample file? Consumer-level H.264 works perfectly here.

Also, if you have a Quicktime or mp4 with Prores video, I'd also like to test this.

i'm using the files ALEXA Mini LF MXF/Apple ProRes from https://www.arri.com/en/learn-help/learn-help-camera-system/camera-sample-footage-reference-image, which (currently) point to https://app.frame.io/reviews/aeea51e4-139f-4810-85c8-cbd74f7a2ce9

the original images are huge (350MB for 11secs), the ffmpeg-converted one is small (1.6MB) so i'm attaching it here

i do not own the copyright on these files; i haven't found any information about it (most likely it belongs to ARRI; but who knows), so please do not include it in your sources :-)
