when I try to open a .mov file, I get the error:
'Your input can’t be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘file:///shared/IMG_4608.MOV’. Check the log for details."
Apparently, it only happens with newer .mov files from iphone 12, with IOS 17.6.1. Another video in .mov format, from Same iphone but made back in Dec 2023 works just fine.
no idea where VLC saves the log file and ‘which’ isn’t helpful on Fedora.
I have had this issue since I bought this new laptop with Fedora 41 intel x64 on it, so it never worked.
It’s not just VLC having this issue,
all other software for video’s have same issue, however, I am using VLC for a decade and it has the reputation to be able to view virtually anything, but apparently not on Fedora Linux.
I have been reading of people having same issue on different versions of Fedora, some unresolved some resolved, but all possible solution I viewed have been tried, I have installed all rpm’s , libraries which are supposed to be required, but obvously I am missing some sort of codecs for Apple’s new .mov files requirements…
any advice is appreciated.
Nico.
