html5(mp4)av,html - HTML5 Video Chrome - ffmpeg - mp4 working in all but Chrome - Stack Overflow

I have successfully encoded a file to .mp4 using ffmpeg which will play in all tested devices (Safari on PC, IE on PC, Android Browser, Andriod Video Player, and Safari iPad), except for Chrome.

As a work-around, I had planned to simply list the .ogg source prior to the .mp4 source so that chrome would play the .ogg source without even seeing the .mp4 source, however, I ran into the issue mentioned here.

Basically, I am after the proper ffmpeg command which will encode an .mp4 video to standards which will play in Chrome - of course without losing playback functionality on any of the other previously mentioned platforms.

I have tried several combinations, such as:

ffmpeg -i [filename].wmv -vprofile baseline -level 30 -vf scale=640:-1 -movflags faststart [filename].mp4

etc. but have not yet found the winning one.

EDIT: I tried:

ffmpeg_new -i [filename].wmv -strict experimental –acodec libvo_aacenc -ac 2 -ab 160k -vcodec libx264 -vf scale=640:-1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset slow -profile:v baseline -level 30 -maxrate 10000000 -bufsize 10000000 -b 1200k -f mp4 -threads 0 [filename].mp4

And here is the ffmpeg output:

But still no luck. The .mp4 will play in every compatible device/browser combination I have tried except for chrome.. Any advice?

TIA.
