Question

I ran this command

ffmpeg -i v-16418145218d8d7abdaabec46beb22ecffd2f5d1625.flv -y -acodec aac -ac 2 -ab 160k -vcodec libx264 -vpre iPod640 -vpre slow -f mp4 -threads 0 OUTPUT.mp4

Got this response:

[flv @ 0x10ff670]Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 25.00 (25/1)

File for preset 'iPod640' not found

But after doing a find, this is what I found.

/usr/share/ffmpeg/libx264-ipod320.ffpreset

I alos tried with -vpre libx264-ipod640 and still no luck. I get preset libx264-ipod640 is not found…. Do i have to enable presets somehow? ffmpeg — enable presets ? or something?

Answer 1

Found the solution while experimenting. I had the wrong order of presets. It has to be the -vcodec then -vpre (speed) -vpre (presetprofile [aka ipod640])
