MOV to Mp4 video conversion iPhone programmatically

Question

I am developing media server for Play station 3 in iPhone.

I came to know that PS3 doesn't support .MOV file so I have to convert it into Mp4 or something other transcode which PS3 support.

This is what I have done but it crashes if I set different file type than its source files.

AVURLAsset *avAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:videoURL options:nil];

NSArray *compatiblePresets = [AVAssetExportSession exportPresetsCompatibleWithAsset:avAsset];

if ([compatiblePresets containsObject:AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality])
{
    AVAssetExportSession *exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc]initWithAsset:avAsset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality];

    exportSession.outputURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath];

    exportSession.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4;

    CMTime start = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(1.0, 600);

    CMTime duration = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(3.0, 600);

    CMTimeRange range = CMTimeRangeMake(start, duration);

    exportSession.timeRange = range;

    [exportSession exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:^{

        switch ([exportSession status]) {

            case AVAssetExportSessionStatusFailed:
                NSLog(@"Export failed: %@", [[exportSession error] localizedDescription]);

                break;

            case AVAssetExportSessionStatusCancelled:

                NSLog(@"Export canceled");

                break;

            default:

                break;
        }

        [exportSession release];
    }];
}

If I set AVFileTypeMPEG4 here then it crashes, saying "Invalid file type". So I have to set it to AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie and it gives MOV file.

Is it possible in iOS to convert video from MOV to Mp4 through AVAssetExportSession...OR without any Thirdparty libraries?

Answer 1

presetName use "AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough" instead "AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality"

 AVAssetExportSession *exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc]initWithAsset:avAsset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough];
