Broken mp4 files? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm trying to download some mp4 files via qbittorrent but most of them don't play. I have no reason to assume that the source is broken, is there perhaps something I am doing wrong or some way to fix it? I'm getting the "moov atom not found" error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn't at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading. It's really big and I don't want to download it all if it won't work.

I was recently ripping some DVDs and a few in the process were being recognized as such. Turns out, they were simply missing ".MP4" for the file name.

VLC will happily play a file with a wrong or no extension but the OS needs to know it should open it with VLC. I think DVD-Video predates the MP4 container.

Yeah, VLC played it, but Plex didn't recognize it. Just saying, could be something as simple as that since OP isn't using VLC.
