The PDR is a C7 feature. The c6 guys here don't have it and by the looks of it, can't help you. I'd repost the question in a C7 forum and see if someone else has an answer.

Download VLC for mac, use it to play the PDR on the mac, and it will have the needed sound driver isntead.

FYI, A PDR is a performance data recorder. It’s a fantastic tool especially if you take your Vette to a track. Do some research and you will be surprised what’s in the latest model Corvettes. I’m thinking you have an old one. So asking a question about a PDR is about the same as asking about the infotainment system or driving modes. I attended the new owners school at Ron Fellows in Spring Mountain Nevada but there is only so much they can teach you in two days. Thank God for the Corvette Forum and the cool people who actually answer your questions.

One of the lads on the forums is rebuilding a C7 flood damage vet, and I end up being his Tech Support, no less than 3 times a week on that project.
As for the PDR video/audio play back, really not a Vet problem to begin with, but Itunes problem with the file instead (as apple puts it, which contains incompatible audio).
So instead of trying fix Itunes to play the MP4.raw file correctly (lots of work, but can be done after you make Itunes contort to your will with the needed hacks), easier to just install VCL for mac one shot (free), which will play it correctly instead.
But yes, Runflatred would be better off in the C7 forums moving forward; that more would be more familiar with specific C7 problems in the future.

C6, c7?
I have been on the forum for years and still can’t find my way around. This thing is not user friendly. Thank God my 2019 Corvette is easier to figure out then this thing. BTW, I have a friend who owns a 66 Vette and he knows more about my car then I do. He’s a real Vette guy.

How to figure it out: Go to the main page of the forum. Make sure you know what gen Vette you have (hint: check owner's manual).
You say you have a 7. That would be anything since and including 2014.
If confirmed, then scroll down the above page a short ways and you will see a section that says Sub-forums C7 Corvette. Click on the appropriate sub-sub forum to suit your needs: "General," "Tech," etc.
From there (as is on the entire rest of Corvette Forum), scroll down a short ways and on the left is a rectangular button that says "New Thread." If you want to create a new thread, click on it. If you just want to read others' posts, continue down to where it says "Normal Threads" and click any of the bolded titles.
PS: If you're illiterate, then this is all going to be a problem for you.
PSS: You're welcome.

We've had a rash of post on here lately where people don't seem to know which generation that their car is in.

You are are the first person that ever tried to help me navigate through Corvette Forum. I will definitely take your advice next time I am looking for information or try to help someone out who is seeking info. And you’re right, I have a C7. It’s a 2019 Grand Sport. Pretty complicated car but even a dummy like me was able to figure everything out with the help of the manual and a new owners class at Spring Mountain. If the Forum had a manual we probably wouldn’t be having this chat. Thanks again.
That's the trouble with using acronyms, too many meanings
