Why won't mp4 video play through QuickLook on macOS?

There is an original video in .mkv format

There are FFmpeg settings for conversion.
ffmpeg -loglevel warning -stats -i /Users/basil/Downloads/Кухня\ в\ Париже.mkv -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=1280:720:flags=bicubic -f mp4 -preset:v slow -preset:a slow -map_chapters -1 ~/Downloads/Кухня.mp4 -n

After which I have two files: .mkv and .mp4 . But this particular .mp4 macOS doesn't want to play through QuickLook.

I'm using Windows os I can't test on Mac os
Try using my MKV file - MP4.bat
Here is a link to my FFMPEG_BAT
repository If that doesn't work then xs. to yourself in a .bat file that's all

The fact is that Quicklook plugins are required to view Quicklook and out of the box it does not play all files.
