h264/aac encoded video not playing in Edge, but working Chrome and Firefox
<p>I am trying to encode a video to use in the HTML5 video-Element. However, it doesn't work in IE Edge on my PC. It does, however, work on: </p>

<ul>
<li>Chrome, Firefox</li>
<li>My android smartphone (Chrome, Firefox)</li>
</ul>

<p>I have two very similar files (one being the big bucks bunny trailer, the second being the video I'm trying to encode): </p>

<p>Picture: <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/nIFaa.png" rel="nofollow">Encoding-Settings</a></p>

<p>As you can see "1.mp4" is playing correctly, and "3.mp4" is not.</p>

<p>You can download the files here: <a href="https://raichu.statshelix.com/encoding_test/1.mp4" rel="nofollow">3.mp4</a> - change 3.mp4 to 1.mp4 to get the other video. </p>

<p>My ffmpeg-commandline is this:</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg.exe -i in.mp4 -c:v libx264 -movflags faststart -profile:v baseline -level 3.1 -preset slower -crf 30 -c:a copy 3.mp4
</code></pre>

<p>However, I have also tried:</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg.exe -i in.mp4 -c:v libx264 -profile:v baseline -level 3.1 -preset slower -crf 30 -c:a copy 3.mp4
</code></pre>

<p>and</p>

<pre><code>ffmpeg.exe -i in.mp4 -c:v libx264 -preset slower -crf 30 -c:a copy 3.mp4
</code></pre>

<p>The output of ffprobe of the result is (for the file that works):</p>

<p>Can anyone point me in the right direction what the difference between the two videos is and how I can fix my ffmpeg command-line to play "3.mp4" in IE Edge?</p>
