With ffmpeg I'm converting video from mp3 and picture to upload it to youtube. After upload, conversion fails. Reasons are unknown. I believe the problem is in format. By the way If I'm uploading file 5 minutes length, it fails if I upload 30 seconds of this file it succeeds.

I have donwload mp4 file from youtube. Then I uploaded it, it is done very fast. So a nice solution would be to convert videos to the same format that is done by google.

I got the following output by mpeg:

Is it possible to construct ffmpeg parameters so that that would give the same format that google internally does? Is the information above sufficient?

I couldn't construct needed params.

For example I don't understand how to set tbn and what 95 kb/s mean in "Stream #0:1(und): Audio:".

Now I just do: ffmpeg -i videoimage.jpg -i audio.mp3 video.mp4

This video fails the conversion on youtube.

I also tried to use other vcode parmam and extensions of output file (mp4, wmv, avi) but failed too.

Would be greatful for help.
