I just got my chromecast and I am trying to convert my uncastable avi videos to castable mp4 video format I converted some avi videos to mp4 using the command:
avconv -i input_file.avi -c:v libx264 -c:a copy output_file.mp4
The problem is that I get the error "media not streamable" and won't work with chromecast.
