Android: `.MOV` video compression fails with `Failed to initialize video/dolby-vision`

[HuuNguyen312]

Current behavior

Unable to compress .MOV video files on Android.

The file metadata is resolved correctly:

input: content://media/external/video/media/1000019700

// File Info
{
  lastModified: 1777021061424,
  size: 5024928,
  type: 'file',
  path: '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/GeoChat/IMG_0018.MOV',
  filename: 'IMG_0018.MOV'
}

But compression fails with the following error:

Failed to initialize video/dolby-vision, error 0xfffffffe (NAME_NOT_FOUND)

.mp4 videos work correctly.

Expected behavior

.MOV videos should:

• compress successfully
• or fallback gracefully if Dolby Vision / codec is unsupported

The compression process should not fail completely.

---

Platform

• Android

---

React Native Version

"react-native": "^0.85.2"

New Architecture enabled.

---

React Native Compressor Version

"react-native-compressor": "^1.18.2"

---

Reproducible Steps And Demo

1. Select a .MOV video
2. Call:

const result = await Video.compress(
  videoPath,
);

3. Compression fails with:

Failed to initialize video/dolby-vision, error 0xfffffffe (NAME_NOT_FOUND)
