mp4 encoded with Apple Compressor : not playing with Android


Hello,

My mp4 (H.264, audio AAC) files encoded with Apple Compressor (version 3.5.3 that comes with Final Cut studio 3) won't stream on Android devices (error message "unable to play file").
The same files play well with our streaming server on any browser, on any computer OS, and play well on iOS.
We use JW Player 6.8.4616 (Premium edition).

My encoding config with Compressor (french localized version, but parameters are obvious) :

When trying to encode mp4 (H.264) files with Adobe Media Encoder (CS5) : no problem. Plays well on all devices.

Anyone had this problem?
Thanks

As an experiment, run one of the "problem" videos through HandBrake, default options plus check "Web optimized." That will tell you pretty a quickly if you have an encoding problem.

(I'm suspicious of the *Format: QT* attribute. You don't want a QuickTime video.)
