问题

ffmpeg command to convert from avi file to mp4 file below does create mp4 file, but the quality of it is not all right at all. Fist, the sizes of the files are different, the mp4 is much smaller and about 1/10 of the avi file. Second, the playing time of the newly created mp4 is short lasting about 0.1 seconds where the avi file lasts about 60 seconds.

Can anyone please help me out for the ffmpeg command to create mp4 file from avi under the directory like below?

for i in /xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/*.avi; do
    ffmpeg -i "$i" -frames:v 1  "/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/$(basename "$i" .avi).mp4"
done

Log after the attempt:

[root@server-xxxxxxx-x ~]# for i in /xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/*.avi; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart "/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/$(basename "$i" .avi).mp4"; done

Problem: You have no supported encoder

Your configuration line is blank. This means that you do not have an H.264/H.265 video encoder enabled. So ffmpeg chooses the native encoder mpeg4 which outputs MPEG-4 Part 2 video. This is an old format which is not supported by HTML5 video.

Solutions

Compile

Compile using --enable-libx264 or --enable-libx265. You'll also need --enable-gpl to use these encoders. See this guide for instructions:

FFmpeg Wiki: Compile for RHEL/Fedora/CentOS

Or download

Alternatively, an easy method is to download an already compiled ffmpeg and put it somewhere in your PATH, such as /usr/local/bin. Or make sure your script provides the full path to the executable if you want it in an arbitrary location. Ensure that this new ffmpeg gets executed instead of your old, crippled one.
