Hi,
I want to upload a video prepared on my computer to my mobile phone, a
Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500D running Android 2.3.6.
The thing is that the phone does not recognize the video as video: it
plays fine on the android VLC app, but the native video player says
'sorry, we can not reproduce this video'. The .avi file is displayed
without an icon, and it is not even listed as a video in the list of videos.
Thus, I can not send it vía WhatsApp, which is my goal.
I have googled for how to convert videos for WhatsApp, with ffmpeg or
avidemux, and found nothing. Just one app to do it in Android, which is
not what I wish (but I might end doing).

There is one photo of the app in there, which appears to be using
mpeg-4, with 480x360, and 800 bitrate, but using .3gp container.
I have tried avidemux, playing with different settings, with no luck so far.
MPEG-4 ASP (mpeg4)
Configure: single pass - bitrate (800)
Filter: Mplayer resize: 480*384 (bilinear, aprox to 16)
Audio: mp3 (lame), mono, CBR, Q 2, bitrate 80.
Format: avi.
I have tried variants with fixed or variable bitrate, 263 or mpg
quantizer, mp3 or ac3 audio. None worked.
MPEG-4 AVC
Single pass, avg bitrate, 800,
384*304 bilinear (mplayer resize)
mp3 (lame), mono, cbr, Q2, br 80
No go.
MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid)
single pass bitrate 800, H.263
No go.
MPEG-2 (mpeg2video)
single pass bitrate 800
avidemux refuses to create it.
Somebody knows of an ffmpeg or avidemux concoction, or something else,
to convert a video to something that my Android device recognizes?
