ffmpeg RTSP MPEG4 to h.264 RTSP not streaming - ffmpeg

I'm trying to re stream a RTSP feed and convert to h264.
I'm using the following command line:
C:\Users\Martyn>ffmpeg -re -i rtsp://192.168.2.207/VideoInput/1/mpeg4/ -preset ultrafast -vcodec libx264 -tune zerolatency -b:v 900k -f rtsp udp://192.168.0.2:1234
The output I get is:
C:\Users\Martyn>ffmpeg -re -i rtsp://192.168.2.207/VideoInput/1/mpeg4/ -preset u
ltrafast -vcodec libx264 -tune zerolatency -b:v 900k -f rtsp udp://192.168.0.2:1

ffmpeg blured bars on vertical movie - Error while opening encoder

I'm trying to use ffmpeg to prepare a mp4 file which is vertical recorded for upload to youtube.
(on a synology DS220+)
In the output file I want to have no black bars on the side but blured sodebars of the movie itself.
This I'm trying to do whit this code (in the end I want to automate this process, but maybe there is a better way to do this):
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -lavfi "[0:v]scale=1920*2:1080*2,boxblur=luma_radius=min(h\,w)/20:luma_power=1:chroma_radius=min(cw\,ch)/20:chroma_power=1[bg];[0:v]scale=-1:1080[ov];[bg][ov]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2,crop=w=1920:h=1080" output.mp4
unfortunaly i get a error message :
Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
In mine search on the internet I have tried multiple ways to get this done but whit all the same error result.
This was making me think that the ffmpeg install is faulty or I was trying wrong code.
Could somebody help me whit this "project"
full responce below:
username#ip:/volume1/location$ ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -lavfi "[0:v]scale=1920*2:1080*2,boxblur=luma_radius=min(h\,w)/20:luma_power=1:chroma_radius=min(cw\,ch)/20:chroma_power=1[bg];[0:v]scale=-1:1080[ov];[bg][ov]overlay=(W-w)/2:(H-h)/2,crop=w=1920:h=1080" output.mp4

What could be the reason for this ?
Update: Based on the console output now included in the Q, the error has nothing to do with the video, but I'll leave my earlier answer below in case anyone finding this question does get the same error from the video encoder.
The error is being reported by the 3rd party AAC encoder, which is now obsolete, and only supports two channels.
There are three ways to tackle this:
#1 Copy audio stream over
ffmpeg -i input.flv -c:a copy output.mp4
#2 Upgrade to recent FFmpeg and run original command in the question
#3 Re-encode using current binary and old encoder (least recommended)
ffmpeg -i input.flv -ac 2 -b:a 128k -strict -2 output.mp4
Older answer:
Most common reason for this error is that the dimensions aren't a multiple of two, and FFmpeg is outputting using pixel encoding YUV420P which requires them to be.
Try
ffmpeg -i input.flv -vf "scale=2*trunc(iw/2):-2" output.mp4
The scale filter makes both the dimensions even.

error when converting mts to mp4

I have many video files that I want to convert to mp4.
so I installed ffmpeg on my win7 PC (64 bit) which is using shared library.
I tried to convert an MTS file to MP4 and I get this error.
What is the problem?

EDIT : I thought I solved this problem by using
ffmpeg -i filename1.mts filename1.mkv
my Samsung LED TV supports mkv file and during the conversion, it shows
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> h264 (libx264))
Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (ac3 (native) -> vorbis (libvorbis))
But Alas! my TV doesn't support vorbis codec. It only supports mp3, ac3, lpcm, and ADPCM when using mkv container. So the question is : How do people select output audio codec?
I solved this by using
ffmpeg -i file1.mts -y -acodec ac3_fixed file1.mkv
see my EDIT above.
and if you want to change the file format (keeping the codec type),
ffmpeg -i file1.MTS -c copy file1.avi
This doesn't take any time and finishes instantly.
EDIT : the file generated using -c copy cannot be played on my Samsung LED TV. The first method works though slow in conversion.
Selecting an audio encoder
So the question is: How do people select output audio codec?
Choose an audio encoder with -c:a such as -c:a libmp3lame for MP3 audio.
See ffmpeg -encoders for a list of encoders supported by your ffmpeg build.
Stream copy
You may be able to simply re-mux (stream copy) to a new container format, and avoid re-encoding, and your TV may play it:
ffmpeg -i input.mts -c copy output.mkv

FFMPEG doesn't work with mp4 and stdout

I need to add text to mp4 video. If I write result to file then everything is OK, but I want to read data from ffmpeg stream.
I run command:
ffmpeg -i sample.mp4 -filter_complex "drawtext='text=\"Sample Text\"':x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h-line_h)/2:fontsize=40:fontcolor=white:fontfile=TimesNewRoman.ttf:enable='between(t,1,5)'" -f mp4 -

Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument
Conversion failed!
It seems the problem is related to mp4 and "muxer does not support non seekable output"
Is there a solution how to make such text adding on the fly and return video as we have data and not to wait until all file is processed.
Thanks
You can't use MP4 with STDOUT. The MP4 container requires the encoder to go back and make changes to the beginning of the file after it is done writing through the end. Since STDOUT cannot seek, outputting media in an MP4 container is not possible with STDOUT.
You can use the empty_moov example ffmpeg -y -framerate 0.5 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -f mp4 -movflags empty_moov - | ffprobe -
-movflags empty_moov
Write an initial moov atom directly at the start of the file, without describing any samples in it. Generally, an mdat/moov pair is written at the start of the file, as a normal MOV/MP4 file, containing only a short portion of the file. With this option set, there is no initial mdat atom, and the moov atom only describes the tracks but has a zero duration.
This option is implicitly set when writing ismv (Smooth Streaming) files.

Add param
-movflags frag_keyframe+empty_moov

why ffmpeg is not working in new installation

I was working on live encoding from FFmpeg from last few days. One day I re-installed my OS and tried to run FFmpeg commands again after configuration. My publish points get in starting but could not started. Why? Am I missing any configuration required?
The command I am trying to run is:
ffmpeg -y -re -i D:\video2.mp4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags isml+frag_keyframe -f ismv -threads 0 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -profile:v baseline -map 0:v -b:v:0 800k http://localhost/PPS/PublishPoint.isml/Streams(Encode
r1)
Output what I got in command prompt is:

Advanced Thanks.
I changed my devices as I was using HD Webcam replaced with simple devices and It worked fine.
So, I found one solution of this problem but can't say it is ideal.
Thanks.
