I am working on ubuntu. I have a file.h263 and I don’t know how to play it. I’ve tried ffmpeg -f msg0001.h263 -i file.avi but it didn;t work. Need some help please. I want to convert file.h263 in .avi or mp2 in order to play the file in an android phone. Got any advices? It would be best to have a c++ code. but i didn’t find any example, nothing at all.

Please help. If you have a piece of code that does this I would appreciate.
Thx

    You should be able to play H263 file and convert it to AVI as the following:

    ffplay -i file.h263
    ffmpeg -i file.h263 file.avi
    

    For android playback you can keep video stream in H.263 and convert the file to 3GPP (.3gp) or MPEG-4 file format or change file format and codec to MPEG-4 and H.264. For example:

    ffmpeg -i file.h263 -vcodec copy -f 3gp file-h263.3gp
    ffmpeg -i file.h263 -vcodec h264 -f mp4 file-h264.mp4
    

    See Android supported media formats for more information.
