I've just updated to the latest MacOS 10.15 Catalina overnight and the issue with Quicktime Player being unable to play videos smoothly from the A129 Pro is still there using either the iGPU or the dedicated GPU (where available). Quicktime seems to use software decoding anyway from what I can tell of these files.
If you're a Mac user then the videos for the front and rear will play at around 2fps in either the OS preview thumbnails, quick preview or Quicktime Player.
If you download and use either VideoLAN / VLC player or IINA they will play perfectly (hardware permitting).
Quicktime does play 4k files from other sources fine but for some reason A129 Pro files on both the front and rear cause it problems.
Just a heads up and workaround for people using these cameras who have bought from retail.
If it's an SDK issue then this issue may become more widespread as other cameras using the same chipset / SDK become available.
