[FFmpeg-user] No luck with live stream from ffmpeg to ffserver

I have different mp4 files that seem not to work. I even tried converting
it to flv but no luck but, how come does it work if feeding ustream or any
other rtmp server?
So, will that format work on all devices? Since, I would need to be display
on different devices at a max rate of 1024kb/s .
That's for a file input but, capturing from a device doesn't work, I'll
experiment using ts format and see if it will work.
Thanks a lot.
