using a good streaming mp4, Output file #0 does not contain any stream

Question

I have many greenway trail mp4 movies from Sony helmet cam. I have a sample 7 minute raw movie from the camera uploaded to my hosting domain for the movies.

Chrome and Firefox stream it correctly. When I edit it and publish it to same place, the startup streaming pauses off and on, stalls, pauses, for a while... then finally plays okay. That is why I am am here.

I am trouble-shooting that issue, because trying to fix them has the same issue I have on this raw, working correctly movie file.

I get the same error.

I am new with this tool and need help identifying the cause of the error. This is the raw file:

Solution

You forgot the -i to indicate which file is an input. Change your command to:

ffmpeg -i MAH00107.MP4 -movflags faststart outputfile.mp4
