The best FFmpeg encoding for mobile (iPhone)
 

Does this video play on your iPhone? http://blackmonsters.com/vmedia_mobile/32980.mp4

This is the code I used to encode it :

ffmpeg -i $src -vcodec libx264 -s 320x240 -vpre baseline -crf 28 -vpre slower -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 64k $dest_mobile

This is supposed to work even on the less capable iphones.

What do you think?


Thanks

I've read plenty of that shit already, did the fucking video play?

:helpme

Bit of a rude twat aren't you!

Yeah, but what's the point of posting a link like that without an explanation.
Where does he think I got the code I'm using from?

And yes, the link is highlighted in my browser because I've already read that page.

Looked like shit, but it played.

iPhone 5s

Yes, this is low quality.

Thank you.

You can improve the video quality, change "crf 28" to "cfr 20".

ffmpeg -i $src -vcodec libx264 -s 320x240 -vpre baseline -crf 28 -vpre slower -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 64k $dest_mobile

How many mega bytes/KB do you think is too big for a mobile video?

Yeah, jesus. Haha.

OP: The quality wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. I guess a lot depends on the source.

Do you want me to upload a screen capture?

I'm using an iPhone 5S, by the way.

I don't need a screen cap.
I know it's not a clear video, but I needed to know if this new encoding even worked.

Thanks for check it for me.

PS : This board made me rude therefore it is not really my fault.
