HEVC output is not playable by QuickTime on macOS 10.14.2 #273

Using ffmpeg -i ./00023.MTS -c:v libx265 -crf 28 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -tag:v hvc1 23.mp4 I am unable to create a file that can be played back by QuickTime on 10.14. The output appears to be compatible with other applications however.

@mattwaltbriggs Sorry I took so long to respond. I was out walking the dog. ...

QuickTime is sure picky, isn't it? Dang. OK, I have to chauffeur my family around for an hour or two but when I get back I'll try this myself and see if I can figure out what's going on. Stay tuned...

@mattwaltbriggs OK, I just transcoded a different video (because I don't have "00023.MTS") with the same Homebrew-installed version of ffmpeg using your exact parameters... and "QuickTime Player" handled it fine. However, I am using macOS version 10.13.6, so maybe that's the difference?

@mattwaltbriggs BTW, have you opened an issue about this with the FFmpeg project yet? Because at this point, not being able to reproduce your problem, I'm not sure what else I can do.

mattwaltbriggs commented 5 years ago

No, you won't have 00023.MTS 'cause it's a 10 GB video I need to transcode for work. :) Unfortunately it happens for all videos transcoded with x265 with ffmpeg. Maybe it is a MacOS 10.14.x issue.. Thanks for trying it anyway. Will look into opening issue with FFmpeg project.

@mattwaltbriggs No worries! Sorry I couldn't solve the problem for you. And feel free to open other "general" video transcoding issues here. I don't mind.

Also, let me know if you find out anything about this from the FFmepg project. I'll close this now but feel free to comment here again. I get all the notifications.

Good luck!
