How to open MP4 files produced OBS in Quicktime?

If you have a deeper understanding of Open Broadcaster Software, you should know some of the stringent requirements, encoding using H264 (x264) and AAC, which is one more important requirement. When you record MP4 videos with OBS, the MP4 videos should be encoded with H.264 . However, H.264 codec can’ t be accepted by Quicktime, so it is failing for you to play MP4 files produced OBS in Quicktime. In that case, when you open MP4 files created OBS in Quicktime, only get “the format of the video would be unknown”, “the sound plays fine, but the video doesn’t work”,“that the file is damaged”, and other situations.
