Opening movie returns AtomicParsley code 2

[andyrings]

"Failed to process file 'Star Wars VHS Widescreen 03-08-23.mov'. AtomicParsley failed with exit code 2"

I'd be glad to send the file itself to someone to see what's going on. Nothing out of the ordinary, a file created with HandBrake on MacOS Ventura. Never ran into this before.

A quick look through the AtomicParsley code shows the following two cases where it can fail with error 2

1. "AtomicParsley error: unsupported MPEG-4 file brand found '%s'\n",
2. "AtomicParsley error: Quicktime movie files are not supported.\n");

Both of these cases seem to indicate that the movie file type isn't supported. I noticed that the file you've put into the issue has the extension .mov (which is a quicktime movie file)...

Could you try re-encoding the file (using Handbrake) to an mp4 format instead and see if it works in MetaZ?

Yeah, that was the problem. I accidentally grabbed a .mov version of the video file and not the .mp4 version.

All is well.
