title: ffmpeg Too many bits per frame requested
body: <p>I am using ffmpeg to convert videos to mp4 format. Everything works fine except with MOV format.</p>
  
  <p>The command I use for everything is:  </p>
  
  <p><code>ffmpeg -i input.mov -strict experimental -sameq -s vga -aspect 1.7777 -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -crf 22 -y output.mp4</code></p>
  
  <p>but the output I keep getting is:</p>

  <p>It seems the problem is with audio's bit per frame.
  Which might be the right solution?</p>
