The video file you are trying to upload is not a video/mp4 or any other media file supported. Chevereto uses mime-type to detect the file extension, not the dot string at the end of filenames.

For reference, these are the video formats supported as v4.4:

PHP: 
        'mov' => 'video/quicktime',
        'mp4' => 'video/mp4',
        'webm' => 'video/webm',

I get the same error when uploading certain .mp4 files. After checking the codec, it appears that some MP4 files from social media sites use the .mp4 container but are encoded with the M4V codec. I believe this is why Chevereto rejects the file.

Chevereto video support is also browser dependent, for the greater compatibility try using Chrome.

If the video file can't be played by your web browser, Chevereto won't be able to upload the file.

It is also device related, for example using a Mac you need at least an M4 chip to interact with HECV, you don't get to play these neither stream natively (you need VLC).

Browser support for video containers is still green and generally a mess, the APIs for getting info (video API, file API) are also a mess when you want to do anything "odd" like reading files over the network, or if you need hashing on top of it.

I think that eventually we will need our own apps for media browsing, the web browser is a jailed tech made to keep us dumb.
