Audio Video merge using ffmpeg- moov atom not found error

Question

I am using below command for merging audio and video-

"-i", videoFileAbsolutePath, "-i", audioFileAbsolutePath, "-c:v", "copy", "-c:a", "aac", "-map", "0:v:0", "-map", "1:a:0", "-shortest", destinationFileAbsolutePath

For few videos I am getting below error-

I got similar kind of error also while creating watermark-

How can i resolve this error?

Answer 1

If you want to have the same output format as the input format and we assume that the video file does not contain any audio stream, you can adapt the following FFmpeg command to android :

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -c:v copy -c:a aac -strict experimental output_merged.mp4

And if your one stream is longer than the other, you can add the -shortest option so that FFmpeg will stop encoding once one file ends.
