    Video files are encoded using different video codecs.  To be able to open and play a video you need to have the encoder/decoder that the video has been encoder with installed  on you system.   I know i can not open and play .mov videos on my Windows system for I doe not install Apples Quicktime on my windows system.  I read the are many issues with Apple quicktime on Windows.  CC 2018 19.1.5 seem to support MP4 encoded in DPX and H.264 format.

    A program like GSpot will identify what codecs were used encoding a video file.

    Video Codecs for windows can be downloaded fro the web.

    Using Windows Media Player I see these installed on my Windows 10 system
