Converted mp4 from gif didn't shows in web browser

I am trying to convert animated GIFs to MP4 files using ffmpeg. Only this convert GIF to MP4:

  exec('ffmpeg -i ' . $destinationPath . $filename . ' -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" ' . $destinationPath . $newFilename);

And I can play it in my pc when download it from server, but it's didn't want to pay in browser. Browser returns me this error: enter image description here

After that GIF to MP4 converor I get one image for thumbnail image and that is works fine:

exec("ffmpeg -i " . $destinationPath . $video . ".mp4 -ss  00:00:01.000 -vframes 1 ".storage_path().$folderNameThumb."/media.png");

and it's shows me a valid frame of GIF. Can anybody help me how to fix this problem with video?

ffprobe output
ffprobe version 2.8.13 Copyright (c) 2007-2017 the FFmpeg developers built with gcc 4.8.5 (GCC) 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16)

  libswresample   1.  2.101 /  1.  2.101

Here is what I get from one MP4 file (run ffprobe filename.mp4):

 Metadata:
major_brand     : isom
minor_version   : 512
compatible_brands: isomiso2mp41
encoder         : Lavf56.40.101

Metadata:
handler_name    : VideoHandler

Because I use Laravel this is method for return media:

public function getGifImage(Media $media)
{
    $path = storage_path() . '/uploads/gif/' . $media->content;
    if (file_exists($path)) {
        return response()->download($path, null, [], null);
    }
}

Web browsers, at this time, can only decode H.264 video within MP4s. Your ffmpeg binary does not have libx264 linked, so it's defaulting to the internal MPEG-4 Part 2 video codec.

Get a recent git binary with libx264 for your platform from

Windows: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

Mac OS X: http://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/ , http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
