It took me a while to work out how to encode H264/AAC files that will play in Quicktime 7 and X from a set of still images (and WAV files).
I’ve no idea whether this is the best approach, but it seems to work, after a fashion:
x264 --pass 1 --fps 24 --bitrate 1000 --level 4.1 --profile main -o picture.264 tiffs/%08d.tiff x264 --pass 1 --fps 24 --bitrate 1000 --level 4.1 --profile main -o picture.264 tiffs/%08d.tiff faac -q 100 -c 48000 -b 192 sound.wav MP4Box -mpeg4 -fps 24 -add picture.264 -add sound.aac output.mp4
The -mpeg4
option seems to be crucial for Quicktime 7 and X to set up the type field for the sound correctly.
