RTSP stream for android devices

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to take a local video which may be in
one of a few different formats (mkv, mp4, avi) and create an rtsp stream
that can be viewed by android devices. I've been playing around with
gstreamer-rtsp-server, and using the test-readme.c example can create a
stream from an mkv that is watchable in vlc, but android cannot process it:
gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_launch(factory, "( "
"filesrc location=/home/user/project/spider.mkv ! "
"decodebin name=dec dec. ! queue ! x264enc ! "
"rtph264pay name=pay0 pt=96 dec. ! queue ! audioresample !
audioconvert ! "
"alawenc ! rtppcmapay name=pay1 pt=97 "
")");
I'm guessing the way its encoded is not supported by android:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html#recommendations
While I have done a good bit of reading through the gstreamer docs and
understand pipelines and such, I'll admit I don't know much about
formats and codecs. What sort of pipeline should I use to encode the
video and audiostreams such that an android device would be able to play
it back, per the requirements listed in the above link?
Thanks for your help.
