Then why are you reporting an issue on this bug tracker? We cannot fix QuickTime. We witnessed this behavior with ffmpeg versions going back to 3.2.2, so it is not a regression. % ffmpeg -i anymovie.mov -c:v mjpeg -pix_fmt yuvj422p output_yuvj422p.movįfmpeg version 4.3 Copyright (c) 2000-2020 the FFmpeg developersīuilt with Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.17)Ĭonfiguration: -prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/4.3_1 -enable-shared -enable-pthreads -enable-version3 -enable-avresample -cc=clang -host-cflags= -host-ldflags= -enable-ffplay -enable-gnutls -enable-gpl -enable-libaom -enable-libbluray -enable-libdav1d -enable-libmp3lame -enable-libopus -enable-librav1e -enable-librubberband -enable-libsnappy -enable-libsrt -enable-libtesseract -enable-libtheora -enable-libvidstab -enable-libvorbis -enable-libvpx -enable-libwebp -enable-libx264 -enable-libx265 -enable-libxvid -enable-lzma -enable-libfontconfig -enable-libfreetype -enable-frei0r -enable-libass -enable-libopencore-amrnb -enable-libopencore-amrwb -enable-libopenjpeg -enable-librtmp -enable-libspeex -enable-libsoxr -enable-videotoolbox -disable-libjack -disable-indev=jack Interestingly, if you use the default pixel format, yuvj420p, the movie file will work with QuickTime on Catalina. However, files of the same format created with ffmpeg no longer work. Our software uses ffmpeg to generate PhotoJPEG QuickTime movies via the 'mjpeg' codec, with pixel format yuvj422p.Īs of macOS 10.15 (Catalina), these generated movie files do not play in QuickTime.Ĭatalina still supports the Photo-JPEG codec, and can play QuickTime-generated Photo-JPEG movies with the yuvj422p pixel format.
