I'm building an Android video-sending application. I need the video to be compressed before being uploaded. In this case, I chose to use this Android wrapper of FFmpeg: https://github.com/hiteshsondhi88/ffmpeg-android-java
FFmpeg error: WARNING: linker: /data/data/com.mycompany.myapplication/files/ffmpeg has text relocations. This is wasting memory and prevents security hardening. Please fix.

Everything seemed fine when I compress small files (below 20 seconds), but when I tried to compress larger files, I seldom get the above error in the middle of the compression process, and the process was also terminated immediately. I need the application to be able to compress one minute video to about 20-35 MB.
Here is the FFmpeg command I used:
ffmpeg -y -i -codec:v libx264 -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -b:v 2500k -minrate 2500k -maxrate 2500k -bufsize 1835k -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -crf 28 -codec:a copy
Any idea on what went wrong? Any kind of help would be very appreciated.
