What i am trying to do is convert video into mp4 format that will play in Android.
I've gone through http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
I am setting the following options
-vcodec libx264 -vprofile baseline -acodec libfaac -ar 44100 -ac 1 -ab 128k yet I get the error message "Sorry, This Video is not valid for streaming to this device"
I Played the video in android browser using videoJS http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4 and it WORKS fine.
I download the video oceans-clip.mp4 and tried to convert using minimalist options
-y -i working.mp4 -vprofile baseline pleasework.mp4 yet I get the same error message.
The following is the FFMPEG info dump of the video files
Working.mp4

Any help appreciated.

To integrate FFmpeg in your android application you can use pre-compiled libraries like FFmpeg, which provide multiple predefined multimedia operations(Queries) and which is easy to integrate by adding FFmpeg dependency in app module gradle file and sync project.
FFmpeg can input most container formats natively, including MP4, . ts, MOV, AVI, Y4M, MKV, and many others. This is the output file.
The MP4 created by ffmpeg has the moov header at the tail. That is why you are getting this error message. ffmpeg can put the moov header in front (suitable for streaming).
Simply run:
ffmpeg -i <input> -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -movflags +faststart output.mp4 Also refer to Post processing in ffmpeg to move 'moov atom' in MP4 files (qt-faststart)

libfaac is not supported anymore, You can use this configuration:
ffmpeg -i <input> -s 480x320 -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec aac -strict -2 -ac 1 -ar 16000 -r 13 -ab 32000 -aspect 3:2 <output> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
