 1.) convert the attached MKV to MP4 or MOV with ffmpeg
 2.) QuickTime Player refuses to open the resulting MOV/MP4
 3.) i've opened a bug report with Apple about QuickTime Player not opening
 the MP4, according to them its broken: "the edit list for the video track
 'elst' has an invalid first entry: media time == -1"


 How to reproduce:
