macOS Sonoma crashes when using QuickTime Player

Upgraded to macOS Sonoma a couple days ago.

Crashed 4x in the last two days when using QuickTime Player, 2x when using it to record video, 2x when using it to play .mp4 files. On each occasion a report was forwarded to Apple.

Any known fixes?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

I switched over to Elmedia Player https://www.elmedia-video-player.com/ and things seem to be working ok. There's a free version and a paid version . . . and here's a site that will show you how to change Elmedia to your default video file viewer: https://recorder.easeus.com/screen-recording-resource/change-default-video-player-mac.html
