    I get an
    Error while reading movie: <filename here>
    and also a
    VideoClip import error for Assets

    And video can't be played through Unity .VLC plays it fine though.
    I wonder if we need extra libraries. I installed Unity 2019.3.7 through Unity Hub on a Linux Mint 19.3.
    For a brief moment I had Ubuntu 18.04 and an HEVC video wouldn't play there either.

    I went back to dual boot with Unity on windows :( couldn't afford to hurt my productivity. It's better to have low efficient OS (windows) that not trusting my favorite creation tool (Unity <3). Besides I was on mint so I couldn't help with bug reports. Take care @andrews_unity, I hope we'll "meet" again once the linux versions are more mature.
