There's something funny about .mov files and JavaFX

Actually, there are examples of where renaming a MOV to MP4 does not fix this, when the MOV came from an iPhone.

Additionally, latest iPhones are producing H265 instead of H264, which is a bit tricky to support (eg, I can't play them on Windows Media Player yet without buying the codec from somewhere - I get audio only). I think best thing might be to lean on ffmpeg to convert MOV to MP4, or H265 to H264

Maybe do that transformation inline, keep the result in a cache (since file name is seperate from the list view)

eg ffmpeg -i "iphone_movie.mov" -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -c:a copy rather_more_playable_movie.mp4
