Video encoding for Android HTML5

I have read lots of threads and articles all with pointers around how to encode video for HTML5 playback in Android.

No matter how much I try the various settings, using Handbrake or Miro, I still have trouble.

Case in point:

This video: http://mediasvcp5lc0xlx242lz.blob.core.windows.net/baby/wf_android.mp4

works fine...

This video, encoded with exactly the same parameters: http://mediasvcp5lc0xlx242lz.blob.core.windows.net/baby/Kia-1.mp4

..does not.

Can anybody point me at something definitive that will help me understand what I am doing wrong here?

The first video works beause it has been encoded with profile Baseline, while the second video has been encoded with profile High, as such does not play on Android devices.

They both are encoded at level 2.1 which is OK, but possibly excessive for the resolution and framerate you have. You can lower it down to level 2, if your encoder allows you to.

Try and encode the second video using profile Baseline as well, it should work.

Cheers,
