Largely yes - although, as ever, what is actually supported (in true 
Windows style) depends on the actual codec used :|

Things like negative playRate, for example, don't seem to be supported 
by any of the standard windows ones (including mp4).

In terms of pitch adjustment when using a different playRate then again 
it is dependent on codec...

However, I've just tested a sample mp4 in Windows and macOS - and it 
*sounds* like they do a similar thing - so for mp4 at least we appear to 
have almost complete parity.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
