DXV, Windows 10 and Quicktime

[p8guitar]

I just installed Resolume (demo) on my Windows 10 machine and like it very much. Now I try to play my content with it, but yet with no success. I've got .mov files that are encoded with H264-MPEG-4 AVC. VLC media player plays these videos on windows 10, but Resolume doesn't.
I didn't find any list in the manual which codes are accepted by Resolume, only the advice to use DXV.

ok - for converting to DXV, I need some software like MPEG streamclip. Apparently, Quicktime is required for MPEG streamclip. Are there alternatives that don't require Quicktime?

In case you wonder why I'm asking - as you know, Apple dropped development of Quicktime for Windows some time ago. I read that installing Quicktime on Windows 10 is kind of a hack / not easy, and there is advice not to install it any more because of security issues.

How do you deal with that?

I could use my macBook for converting the files, but it is dying and I don't know how long I can use it, so a solution that is future-proof would be appreciated...

In the link you provided in your post you can read

TrendMicro goes on to write that both exploits are remote code execution vulnerabilities that would require an end user to actively visit a malicious webpage or open a malicious file to exploit them.

So by the general carefulness of like clicking random links in emails and webpages you don't know I think it's pretty easy to be on the safer side.
If you use Adobe software you can get the Adobe Media Encoder with your After effects or Premiere, it's quite powerful too, and supports Alpha channel contrary to Mpeg streamclip (afaik).
If your workflow doesn't need alpha channel, the you can go with Mpeg streamclip

MPEG Streamclip does in fact support alpha channel, I use it for all of my encoding.
Installing Quicktime is very easy. Go to Apple's website, find Quicktime, and download the installer for Windows. Open it and it will install just like anything else. Yes, they are no longer actively developing it for Windows, but it works perfectly fine for what we use it for and if you have any decent antivirus (Windows Defender which comes with Win 10 is actually pretty good now) you will be perfectly fine.
If you only want to install the essentials, then choose custom install and untick the quicktime player. Basically all you need is the core quicktime 'essentials'. Just enough to get the DXV codec and MPEG Streamclip to work.
Once you install Quicktime, DXV, and Streamclip, DXV will show up in the list of Quicktime codecs when you go to render a video.
