QuickTime Player crashes my MacBook Pro M1 2020 Sonoma 14.1.1

Hi, QuickTime Player crashed my computer under Sonoma 14.0. Today I upgraded to Sonoma 14.1.1. But QuickTime Player still crashes my MacBook Pro M1 2020 when I watch a 30 seconds 4K Apple Video, shot by an iPhone 14 Pro. I can watch the video, but at the end of it, my computer is frozen, and I have to shut it down by pressing the on/off button down during ten seconds. Is there something I missed ?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.1

my experience:

mirror screen to a hardwired monitor

use the screenshot tool to take a screen recording

open the resulting screen recording

try pausing/unpausing, clicking anywhere outside the video, seeking, etc, this should be enough to lock up the entire machine in my experience


what’s interesting is it doesn’t truly lock up, but rather responds every roughly 5 seconds. Due to this I’ve been able to close QuickTime, however my machine is still locked up until I restart (or it restarts itself)
