@pirmax https://twittercommunity.com/t/ffmpeg-mp4-upload-to-twitter-unsupported-error/68602/2
worked for me,
I guess the option missing is the one about pixel format, -pix_fmt yuv420p
This worked for me on a screencast created via QuickTime Player
ffmpeg -i $input -vcodec libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -strict -2 -acodec aac ${input%.*}.mp4

I use this variant. This fixes scaling on windows (which breaks with the single quotes), includes Platane's fix, and also downmixes to stereo so that surround sound videos don't break it:
ffmpeg -i in.mkv -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libx264 -vf scale=640:-1 -acodec aac -vb 1024k -minrate 1024k -maxrate 1024k -bufsize 1024k -ar 44100 -ac 2 -strict experimental -r 30 out.mp4
If all you need to do is convert to mp4, this leaves everything else unchanged.
ffmpeg -i in.mov -c copy out.mp4
Foone's command works for me.
-t 2:20
is also needed.
It's also necessary to round to an even number of pixel dimensions:
ffmpeg -i test.mov -vcodec libx264 -vf "pad=ceil(iw/2)*2:ceil(ih/2)*2" -pix_fmt yuv420p -strict experimental -r 30 -t 2:20 -acodec aac -vb 1024k -minrate 1024k -maxrate 1024k -bufsize 1024k -ar 44100 -ac 2 out.mp4
Also, based on Twitter's JSON response, the aspect ratio can only be 3:1 max
I definitely needed a -t
as I was trying to send a 5 second video (using the standard UI) and the screen error was generic ... had to examine the JSON in the response to know they thought it was too short.
@Pomax remark fixed my issue. The aspect ratio was the problem in my case but nothing tells it is the case.
@hertzsprung This one worked for me
@hertzsprung thank you, your command worked for a troublesome DVD rip.
The media you tried to send was not valid.
