[FFmpeg-user] libx264rgb mov files not playing in browser

Mon Jun 3 10:10:54 EEST 2019

I'm creating QT files out of .dpx sequence. Due to other party requirements
the video needs to be in RGB colorspace so I'm using libx264rgb codec as
suggested here. Previously I used libx264 and I had no such issues. Now,
with libx264rgb my videos are not playing in any web browser. Here's the
whole command + output.

> ffmpeg -start_number 1000 -f image2 -r 24 -i ARR_106_0070_v000.%04d.dpx
> -movflags +faststart -c:v libx264rgb -crf 10 -s 1920x1080 hello2.mov
