I made animation codec .mov in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and 10.11 El Capitan QuickTime Player. macOS 13.1 Ventura QuickTime Player can not play it.


I did a quick test and could convert it with ffmpeg to a .mp4 that Ventura QuickTime Player can play (here the default quality settings for H.265 i.e. '-crf 28 -preset medium'):


ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx265 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 28 -preset medium -timecode 00:00:00:00 -tag:v hvc1 -c:a aac -b:a 128k output.mp4
