Record, save and/or convert video in mp4 format?

Here is the code to convert mov video into mp4 for swift

func encodeVideo(videoURL: NSURL)  {
let avAsset = AVURLAsset(URL: videoURL, options: nil)

var startDate = NSDate()

//Create Export session
exportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: avAsset, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough)

// exportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: composition, presetName: mp4Quality)
//Creating temp path to save the converted video


let documentsDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0]
let myDocumentPath = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: documentsDirectory).URLByAppendingPathComponent("temp.mp4").absoluteString
let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: myDocumentPath)

let documentsDirectory2 = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)[0] as NSURL

let filePath = documentsDirectory2.URLByAppendingPathComponent("rendered-Video.mp4")
deleteFile(filePath)

//Check if the file already exists then remove the previous file
if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(myDocumentPath) {
    do {
        try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtPath(myDocumentPath)
    }
    catch let error {
        print(error)
    }
}

 url

exportSession!.outputURL = filePath
exportSession!.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4
exportSession!.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = true
var start = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(0.0, 0)
var range = CMTimeRangeMake(start, avAsset.duration)
exportSession.timeRange = range

exportSession!.exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler({() -> Void in
    switch self.exportSession!.status {
    case .Failed:
        print("%@",self.exportSession?.error)
    case .Cancelled:
        print("Export canceled")
    case .Completed:
        //Video conversion finished
        var endDate = NSDate()

        var time = endDate.timeIntervalSinceDate(startDate)
        print(time)
        print("Successful!")
        print(self.exportSession.outputURL)

    default:
        break
    }

})


}

func deleteFile(filePath:NSURL) {
guard NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(filePath.path!) else {
    return
}

Swift 3

func encodeVideo(_ videoURL: URL)  {

    let avAsset = AVURLAsset(url: videoURL, options: nil)

    let startDate = Foundation.Date()

    //Create Export session
    exportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: avAsset, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough)

    // exportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: composition, presetName: mp4Quality)
    //Creating temp path to save the converted video


    let documentsDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
    let myDocumentPath = URL(fileURLWithPath: documentsDirectory).appendingPathComponent("temp.mp4").absoluteString
    let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: myDocumentPath)

    let documentsDirectory2 = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0] as URL

    let filePath = documentsDirectory2.appendingPathComponent("rendered-Video.mp4")
    deleteFile(filePath)

    //Check if the file already exists then remove the previous file
    if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: myDocumentPath) {
        do {
            try FileManager.default.removeItem(atPath: myDocumentPath)
        }
        catch let error {
            print(error)
        }
    }



    exportSession!.outputURL = filePath
    exportSession!.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4
    exportSession!.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = true
    let start = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(0.0, 0)
    let range = CMTimeRangeMake(start, avAsset.duration)
    exportSession.timeRange = range

You are doing right thing.. Now you need to convert this mov file to mp4 as below.

NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
NSString *videoPath1 = @"";
if (CFStringCompare ((__bridge_retained CFStringRef) mediaType, kUTTypeMovie, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo)
 {
   if (UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum(moviePath))
   {
         NSString *docDir = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
         NSString *moviePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];
         videoPath1 =[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/xyz.mov",docDir];
         NSURL *videoURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
         NSData *videoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
         [videoData writeToFile:videoPath1 atomically:NO];
       //  UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(moviePath, self, nil, nil);
   }
 }

    AVURLAsset *avAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath1] options:nil];
    NSArray *compatiblePresets = [AVAssetExportSession exportPresetsCompatibleWithAsset:avAsset];

    if ([compatiblePresets containsObject:AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality])
    {
        AVAssetExportSession *exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc]initWithAsset:avAsset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough];
        NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
        videoPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/xyz.mp4", [paths objectAtIndex:0]];
        exportSession.outputURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoPath];
        NSLog(@"videopath of your mp4 file = %@",videoPath);  // PATH OF YOUR .mp4 FILE
        exportSession.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4;

      //  CMTime start = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(1.0, 600);
      //  CMTime duration = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(3.0, 600);           
      //  CMTimeRange range = CMTimeRangeMake(start, duration);            
      //   exportSession.timeRange = range;        
      //  UNCOMMENT ABOVE LINES FOR CROP VIDEO   
        [exportSession exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:^{

            switch ([exportSession status]) {

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

                    break;

                case AVAssetExportSessionStatusCancelled:

                    NSLog(@"Export canceled");

                    break;

                default:

                    break;

            }
             UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(videoPath, self, nil, nil);
            [exportSession release];

        }];

    }
[nextScreenButton setTitle:@"ПРОДЪЛЖИ" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
