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
}
do {
try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtPath(filePath.path!)
}catch{
fatalError("Unable to delete file: \(error) : \(__FUNCTION__).")
}
}
Swift 3
func encodeVideo(_ videoURL: URL) {

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];
