I have crawled this forum for a while and have tried many remedies suggested by Admin, but I still cannot get my site to convert uploaded video to flv file.
Here's the major problem. I am an experienced Windows admin, but have learned everything I know about linux in the past 4 weeks trying to get this site to work.
I am self hosting and running UBUNTU/Debian linux (Dapper release) and have managed to get the site requirements installed, in addition to the Vshare script. Most things seems to be working including file uploads but the end result is that a .flv file is not created, despite there being no obvious reason for the failure in the debug.txt file.

Here is a snippet from my debug.txt file

################### VSHARE DEBUG LOG START ###################


Temporary File Name :/tmp/phpIVQPWu

/usr/local/bin -i /var/www/vshare/video/3.mpg -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv /var/www/vshare/flvideo/3.flv


UPDATE VIDEO SQL:
update video set

vdoname='3.mpg',

flvdoname='3.flv',

duration='215.724866' WHERE VID=3


And here is what happens when I run the suggested Convert.php script with the appropriate convert command:

Last line of the output:
Return value: 126

What does this mean?

I have tried using both mencoder and ffmpeg in the video_conversion.php script to no avail.

What am I missing here? What else can I do to try and see where the file conversion is breaking down?

Please help. :cry:
