Email Playback

Post by dagentooboy »

Has anyone figured out some FFMPEG commands that can be used to make an MPEG or AVI that can play in gmail's built in player so that I don't have to download the video to play it?

maybe add a ffmpeg parameter to Options->Images->FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS, to convert the video to webm?

I used -r 10 -b 4000k -vcodec libvpx -acodec libvorbis and put webm as the default. It didn't work. I can't find any info about what formats/codecs gmail can play.

I also tried

-r 10 -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac

and changed the extension to mp4. I have looked all over for a list of formats that video window works with and so far I haven't found anything.
