Thread: FFMPEG encoded video only plays on computer encoded on

so i'm encoding video that's coming off tuner card using command:

code:

ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -vcodec libx264 -vpre medium -threads 0 -crf 30 -deinterlace -t 60 test.mp4

i can play video fine on computer it's being encoded on, if try play on other computer (windows or mac), can't play. i've tried windows media player, quicktime, , vlc.

doing wrong?

so little test.

tried encoding captured video using same settings before. i'm encoding captured video twice. if can view encoded video anywhere.

code:

ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -vcodec libx264 -vpre medium -threads 0 -crf 30 -deinterlace -t 60 test.mp4 ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -vcodec libx264 -vpre medium -threads 0 -crf 30 test2.mp4

but want have encode video once. what's deal encoding streaming source , encoding regular file? shouldn't both output file can viewed anywhere?
