Question

In Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I have used -movflags frag_keyframe+empty_moov in my ffmpeg command:

ffmpeg -i http://filesbe.vocativ.internal.net/03/44/SN/q1/xg/xl/0344SNq1xgxl.flv \
-crf 32.0 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -aspect 4:3  -movflags frag_keyframe -vcodec \
libx264 -acodec aac -strict experimental -ar 44100 -ac 2 -b:a 128k -map 0:0 \
-map 0:1 -f flv -y test.flv

Solution

First of all you're not actually using ffmpeg from FFmpeg, but an old and outdated version from a fork which does not have the -movflags option. You will need to update your ffmpeg: you can simply download a Linux build of ffmpeg (see detailed instructions), or you can follow a step-by-step guide to compile ffmpeg on Ubuntu.
