    Some iPhone videos don't play on Windows 10 Photos, but do play on Windows Media Player


    Recently, I've imported a bunch of videos from my new iPhone 12 mini. I imported using the 'Keep original' setting in iPhone settings, because this is the only way I could get the import to be successful see here. So the files supposedly have *not* been formatted to Windows friendly formats. However, the videos are .MOV files, which Windows should have no problem playing. Indeed, some of the videos play just fine in both Windows Photos and Windows Media Player. However, other videos *only* play in Windows Media Player even though an overexposed version of the first frame shows up in the Windows Photos thumbnail.


    Does anyone know why this could be? I generally like the layout of Windows Photos app, and love scrolling old photos and vids, and I'm bummed that some of my videos require a different app to play.

    :)
