my mobile samsung e2120 does not play mp4 file created using ffmpeg

sumeet inani · 07-01-2010, 10:03 PM

I am using ubuntu 8.04
here is what i did

I ran
ffmpeg -i /sumeet/clip/friends\ introduction\ song.mp4 -s 160x120 -acodec amr_nb -vcodec mpeg4 -r 30 -ar 8000 -ac 1 ~/Desktop/friends.mp4
now I compared sample video created by mobile file I created above.

Code:

09:08:59 ~ $ffmpeg -i ~/Desktop/sample.mp4

All i can see difference is order of audio & video stream.
What should i do ?

syntax for ffmpeg:

Code:

ffmpeg -i /path/to/infile.extension outfile

I did not see an outfile in your command lines...

here I am comparing two mp4 files .
One created by mobile & other on computer .
i am showing that codec & other parameters of both file are same (except order of audio & video stream) . Yet , computer file does not play in mobile which says 'unsupported content'

Here is my question with more info
I got 2 samples of mobile encoded file & analysed it to conclude that it should have following

Code:

 Metadata:
major_brand     : 3gp4
    minor_version   : 512
    compatible_brands: 3gp4
Stream #0.0(und): Audio: amrnb, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, flt, 12 kb/s
tream #0.1(und): Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 160x120 [PAR 12:11 DAR 16:11], sth kb/s, PAR 1:1 DAR 4:3, sth fps, 30 tbr, 1k tbn, 30 tbc

But the video I encoded using ffmpeg says

Code:

Metadata:
    major_brand     : isom
    minor_version   : 512
    compatible_brands: mp41
    Stream #0.0(und): Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 160x120 [PAR 1:1 DAR 4:3], 224 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn, 25 tbc
    Stream #0.1(und): Audio: amrnb, 8000 Hz, 1 channels, flt, 12 kb/s

Coloured ones are differences . How Can i iron them out ?

now I have further perused/scrutinised media info .

Code:

Format profile : Base Media to 3GPP Media Release 4
Codec ID : isom to 3gp4
video 
id : 1 to 2
Format settings, BVOP : no to color=red]Yes[/color]
Bit rate mode : Variable to constant
Nominal bit rate : 128 Kbps
Original display aspect ratio : 3:2 (though dar=4:3 is satisfied by ffmpeg)
Frame rate mode : constant to Variable
Minimum frame rate : 7.463 fps

Maximum frame rate : 15.152 fps
Audio

ID : 2 to 1

I tried '-b 128k -minrate 128k -maxrate 128k -bufsize 256k -r 8' . That helped.
Now question reamins about interchanging order of video 7 audio in output ?
