ffmpeg configuration for mp4 files

Wowza Streaming Engine

Hi.

I have mp4 file from my windows phone.

There is info:

General

Format : MPEG-4

Format profile : Base Media / Version 2

Codec ID : mp42

Video

Format : AVC

Codec ID : avc1

Codec ID/Info : Advanced Video Coding

Audio

Format : AAC

Format profile : LC

Codec ID : 40

Bit rate : 96.0 Kbps

Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz

When I stream it to wowza with next ffmpeg command ( I got it from documentation)

ffmpeg -re -i “C:\sample2.mp4” -vcodec libx264 -vb 150000 -g 60 -vprofile main -level 2.1 -acodec aac -ab 64000 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts udp://127.0.0.1:10001?pkt_size=1316

In client app I see corrupted video: http://i.imgur.com/fKEMlsB.png

With sample file provided by wowza all works fine.

Can you help me with ffmpeg configuring?

I read documentation, but understand nothing.

This seems like an issue with your file as opposed to an ffmpeg issue.

Did you test playback of the file as VOD with the sample player that ships with Wowza?

[install-dir]/exempels/VideoOnDemandStreaming/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html

Also you can test the file as progressive download and take Wowza and streaming out of the equation. Open the file in a web browser and see if the problem persists.

If the file is misbehaving in these tests, you can look at this article:
