I am using ffmpeg to convert videos to mp4 format. Everything works fine except with MOV format.
The command I use for everything is:
ffmpeg -i input.mov -strict experimental -sameq -s vga -aspect 1.7777 -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -crf 22 -y output.mp4
but the output I keep getting is:

Stream mapping:

Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
It seems the problem is with audio's bit per frame.
Which might be the right solution?
The "Too many bits per frame requested" error is coming from the native FFmpeg AAC encoder (-c:a aac). You can use one or more of the following solutions:
Update your ffmpeg
Development is very active and the native FFmpeg AAC encoder has seen many improvements; it will now automatically clamp to the max number of bits per frame instead of failing with this error. See the FFmpeg Download page for links to already compiled binaries which are the easiest method to get a recent ffmpeg.
If you're stuck with an old, outdated, ancient ffmpeg:
Increase the audio sampling rate such as by adding -ar 44100.
Decrease your bitrate. Default is probably -b:a 128k. Try lower values until it works.
Use -c:a copy to stream copy (re-mux) the audio, and, because MP4 doesn't support pcm_mulaw, use different output container format such as Matroska (.mkv).
Use a different AAC encoder such as libfdk_aac if your ffmpeg supports it.
You don't need to do any of these options if you upgrade ffmpeg.
I'd hope ffmpeg is more clever than this, but you might try specifying the video stream for your -s and -aspect options: -s:v and -aspect:v.
Alternately, since you're not doing anything special with the audio, you could copy it explicitly with -c:a copy.

I have achieved to merge two RTSP signals in one with FFMPEG but in the resulting stream, the first input has a delay of between 2 and 5 seconds with respect to the second. And it is always the first input that is delayed compared to the second.
The two RTSP signals come from the same camera model, same configuration, same room ...
However, if I put the same RTSP signal (either of the two) as input 1 and input 2, the same thing happens. Despite being the same signal, the first input is delayed compared to the second one.
How could I get them synchronized?
This is the command that I execute:
ffmpeg -rtsp_transport tcp -thread_queue_size 512 -rtbufsize 50M -r 15
-i rtsp://XXXX -rtsp_transport tcp -thread_queue_size 512 -rtbufsize 50M -r 15

From the ffmpeg documentation
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Examples-139:
try setting video pts with
setpts='(RTCTIME - RTCSTART) / (TB * 1000000)'
(some documentation says this is deprecated but I am using the November 27th build and it works.)
Sync the video streams to the first stream i.e
-map "[out]",0:v
and set pts on the audio
-af 'asetpts=N/SR/TB'
YMMV, but it works with my cheap Chinese IP cams
I have a long video that I'd like to speed up into a time-lapse. Following the FFmpeg wiki, I came up with this incantation:
ffmpeg -i IMG_0238.MOV -r 60 -ss 00:04:41 -filter:v "setpts=PTS/60.0" -an output.mp4
It should clip off the first few minutes, then create a new 60fps video file at 60x the speed.
Although it spins all my CPU cores up to 100%, the status bar simply shows frame= 0 fps=0.0 q=0.0 size= 0kB time=00:00:00.00 bitrate=N/A speed= 0x and never progresses.
The problem seems related to the -ss 00:04:41 flag, which specifies the start time; I want to drop the first 4 minutes 41 seconds of source video. When I omit this option, the video conversion succeeds.
Full log follows.

Specify the -ss parameter before the -i parameter:
ffmpeg -ss 00:04:41 -i IMG_0238.MOV -r 60 -filter:v "setpts=PTS/60.0" -an output.mp4
What -ss as an output option does, is discard output till frames with the specified inpoint are received. Since that can take some time, the progress counter will appear to be 'stuck' but processing is ongoing. In your case, what further compounds the issue is that since you're collapsing timestamps to 1/60th, ss of 04:41 represents 04:41 x 60 of input being discarded. Increases the progress delay a lot, but more importantly, your output doesn't start where you want it to.
By using -ss as input option, ffmpeg will discard 04:41 of the input and then process the rest. The progress counter will also be active immediately.

Sometimes there is an issue when i try to convert to mp4 using ffmpeg. I'm getting issue Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height.

Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:1
This is from the native FFmpeg AAC encoder named "aac". Your options:
Stream copy the input AAC audio instead of re-encoding (-c:a copy).
Use a different AAC encoder. This would require re-compiling ffmpeg because your build appears to only support the native FFmpeg AAC encoder.
Use a lower audio bitrate (-b:a).
Use a higher audio rate (-ar).
Other notes
-b:v and -crf are mutually exclusive: you should choose only one. In you case -b:v was ignored.
-threads 0 is the default for this encoder, meaning that x264 will automatically select the appropriate number of threads, so you can remove this option.
The H.264 profile (-profile:v) only needs to be set if your target players or devices do not support whatever profile the encoder automatically selects.
FFmpeg 2.4.3 is considered old. General users are recommended to use ffmpeg from current git master if possible (meaning use a build from the most recent code). Downloading a static build is an easy way to do that.
Stack Overflow is for programming questions only. If you have additional ffmpeg cli usage questions they should be asked at Super User.
There seems to be a problem with your AAC audio stream #0:1. It shows 0 channels in the console output.
Try adding -analyzeduration and -probesize to your command to increase the analysis time and see if it detects them or drop the audio stream entirely / check the source file integrity.
probesize integer (input)
Set probing size in bytes, i.e. the size of
the data to analyze to get stream information. A higher value will
enable detecting more information in case it is dispersed into the
stream, but will increase latency. Must be an integer not lesser than
32. It is 5000000 by default.
analyzeduration integer (input)
Specify how many microseconds are
analyzed to probe the input. A higher value will enable detecting more
accurate information, but will increase latency. It defaults to
5,000,000 microseconds = 5 seconds.
Sometims ffmpeg never completes, and thereby preventing conversions of other videos in the queue. Is it possible to set some sort of timeout in ffmpeg such that it terminates if it isnt finished within some given time, example 5 min
My command looks like this today:

UPDATE. Thanks LordNeckBerd, you pointed me in right direction!
So I see now its kind of not ffmpeg really hanging, the issue is that my java code which reads the inputstream from the linux process will block since ffmpeg never returns a end of line, which I see now when Im running the command. This is the blocking line, it waits for more input from me.
Press [q] to stop, [?] for help
So its two issues here now. First is why this particular conversion is failing, and second, how to make sure ffmpeg is not making this (for my Java process) blocking command asking for more input.

If anybody has any idea, that what is going wrong, plz help.
I think it's because your output bit rate (128kb) is higher than your input bit rate (106 kb).
I've just done a quick test and when I put my output higher than my input mine fails with the same errors as yours - it succeeds when I lower it again.
This may explain why it only fails for some inputs.
If you're scripting this in some way you'll have to use either 'ffmpeg -i' or something like MediaInfo to analyse your input source first and adjust accordingly.
