This worked for me:

tools/ffmpeg/./ffmpeg -i debug/assets/videos/sample_iPod.mp4 -acodec libvo_aacenc -vcodec libx264 debug/assets/videos/sample_iPod.3gp

Try this.. Hope this will help you

ffmpeg -i input.AVI -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ar 44100 -s 704x400 -r 20 -vcodec libx264 -b 256000 -cmp +chroma -partitions +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -me_method umh -subq 5 -trellis 1 -refs 2 -bf 1 -coder 1 -me_range 16 -g 300 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -bt 256000 -maxrate 4M -bufsize 4M -rc_eq 'blurCplx^(1-qComp)' -qcomp 0.6 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -level 21 output.3gp

this will convert your avi to 3gp. Try different formats as input and output file as per your need

NOTE :- Change parameters as per your need like 'level'

Answer 3

The guy wants it in mpeg4 codec not x264.

Here's how:

ffmpeg.exe -i input.avi -acodec libvo_aacenc -ab 64k -vcodec mpeg4 -s 320x240 -b:v 400k -r 23.976 output.3gp

In some phones 320x240 may seem stretchy, in that case use 320x180 instead

Answer 4

You can try this:

ffmpeg -y -i test.mpeg -r 20 -s 352x288 -b 400k -acodec aac -strict experimental -ac 1 -ar 8000 -ab 24k test.3gp

Answer 5

Following code is working fine:

ffmpeg -y -i test.mpeg -r 20 -s 352x288 -b 400k -acodec aac -strict experimental -ac 1 -ar 8000 -ab 24k test.3gp
