I've been busy over the past few days trying to compile a timelapse from a string of images using FFMPEG. After initial issues, I've got it working and have a perfect MP4 that plays in VLC player. It doesn't play in Windows 10's Films & TV player though. The file is given by VLC as:
H.264 MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc 1)
712x1080
720x1090 buffer
6.4 MiB
30 FPS
13 seconds long
Decoded format: Planar 4:4:4 YUV full scale
I have transferred it to my phone and it plays fine on my VLC Android app. It can't play on my Samsung S8's "gallery" though (it displays a grey area with an exclamation mark in it) or upload on my Instagram app (just a grey area where the video is meant to be).
I thought it was an issue with the H.264 level, so I have recompiled my timelapse in FFMPEG into eight separate files, using H.264 levels 3.1, 3.2, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 5, 5.1, and 5.2 (and a ninth using FFMPEG's default). Still, none play.
I hope I've given enough information about the file, if not feel free to ask for more. Can someone give me guidance on what is up with my files? Thanks!
1The problem is the 4:4:4. Most players only play 4:2:0 – szatmary – 2018-06-13T23:51:00.160
