Try VLC, the newest version. Open up the app, open the message window from the 'Tools' menu and set it to debug mode, then drag-drop the file to the window and run it.

No problem when I download it from https://www.vimeo-download.com. I can also play with IINA player. No need to download VLC.

QuickTime issue.

QuickTime issue.

Unbelievable. You're closing without reading. The following Applications can open mp4 files;
After Effects CC 2018
QuickTime
Compressor
Apple Motion

Most likely all of them use the same backend. As already mentioned, vlc, mpv and many more play it without any issue. Also aforementioned site serves different format with lower quality.
