Hi, for avc1 decoding you need ffmpeg, but probably an older version since the libquicktime code wasn't updated for a while. There were some fundamental changes in the ffmpeg API since then. Maybe someone wants to upgrade the libacodec frontend. Right now I don't have time to work in libquicktime (and I stopped using it personally a while ago already).

Subject: [Libquicktime-devel] Could not find video Decoder Greetings, I assume that this list is more or less dead, but just in case it’s only dormant… :-) Sometime in the past 12 months, my projects that were using libquicktime all started displaying the "Could not find video Decoder” message whenever I attempt to play a movie file. This happens for very classical codecs like avc1 or dmb1, all types that I managed to play just fine only a while back (and of course still play in VLC), with no change in my code. I get that message both on mac OS (10.14 Mojave) and Ubuntu Linux (18 through 20). I would assume that I forgot to install something on both platform the last time I reinstalled both systems. On the Mac, I installed libquicktime-dev through MacPorts. Also installing x264 made no change. A pointer to the proper software to install to get my old libquicktime projects to run again would be much appreciated. Otherwise what did you all move too? Straight ffmpeg?
