[MEncoder-users] Encoding H.264 for iPod Touch?

[Fredrik Roubert]

Hi!

I'm using MEncoder (1.0rc2) to encode videos for my iPod Touch. The
following command line produces files that work perfectly fine:

mencoder -ofps 25 -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -af lavcresample=44100 -vf-add harddup -vf-add scale=480:-11 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts aglobal=1:vglobal=1:acodec=libfaac:abitrate=128:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=384:keyint=25 -o test.mp4 test.avi

I do however believe that I could get improved quality by encoding in
H.264 instead, and did the following obvious attempt:

mencoder -ofps 25 -of lavf -lavfopts format=mp4 -af lavcresample=44100 -vf-add harddup -vf-add scale=480:-11 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts aglobal=1:vglobal=1:acodec=libfaac:abitrate=128:vcodec=libx264:vbitrate=384:keyint=25 -o test.mp4 test.avi

The files produced by that command line play fine in MPlayer and
QuickTime Player but iTunes refuses to download them to the iPod.

Does anyone know anything useful to help me out here?

Cheers // Fredrik Roubert
