"Loading Media, Please Stand By..." for a minute when opening video files

[GAntiko]

When opening video files, even if very small / short, I got a minute of waiting with the Alert "Loading Media, Please Stand By...".

I use most frequently mp4, but it happens with different video formats. The very same files do open instantly with VLC, QuickTime Player, Preview. Having to wait a minute makes the use of the player pointless.

I'm using Screen on a brand new MacBook Pro 16-inch M3 Max with 64GB RAM, Sonoma 14.3 and Screen 1.4.14 (3195)

Please first click Help -> Delete Movie Preferences -> All and see if that fixes it!

I've tried multiple times with Delete Movie Preferences > All but always without luck. The first time I open a new video I have to wait almost a minute.

the same issue after update to 1.7.15 Screen stopped loading canon raw files.

but it worked till Screen got updated to 1.7.15.... is it possible to return somehow to 1.7.14?

wow, I just discovered, screen refuses to work with some files randomly ( canon raw files). The size of files does not matter. For example: 5GB file works, 23GB doesn't, 150GB works... etc... I am working on mac M1 Max.
