Can't convert to flv

I've got the script working for a bit. My server fullfill the requirements, my phpinfo.php displays the right things for ffmpeg, but I still keep struggeling with the problem the video's are not being converted to flv. I'm using 2.4 right now. In this version I can't find a debug mode, how can I see what's going on when the converting starts..?

Edit: Besides that, I have a thumbnail problem. I uploaded a .3gp video, the thumbnail shows up (not converted to the flvideo map!) but when I upload a .mp4 video, the thumbnail won't be created.

Debug is enabled by default, after uploading a video, check templates_c/debug.txt file.

Run the convert command on command prompt of the server and see if video get converted.

This is wat I get from the debug after uploading a .mp4 video. No thumbnail has been created. For .3gp I get almost the same debug list, only for that extension the thumbnail works.

Code:

Problem is mencoder on your server not able to convert the video

You can ask your server admin to run following command on server and see if that works (convert video into FLV).

Code:

/usr/local/bin/mencoder '/home/admin/domains/degroenehel.tv/public_html/video/24082007127.mp4' -o /home/admin/domains/degroenehel.tv/public_html/flvideo/1187994234137797706.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames

When I run that command, I get this as return:

Code:

I removed some word in the command line, I'm a bit further now.. it's saying that there is an error in mencoder libformat.

Ok, I made a conversion via command prompt with this line:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/mencoder '/home/admin/domains/degroenehel.tv/public_html/video/24082007127.mp4' -o /home/admin/domains/degroenehel.tv/public_html/flvideo/1187994234137797706.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts -srate 22050

It's returning this

It works only with command prompt.. when I'm using the site it's keep giving me a convert error. I think I have to repair my install of mplayer, isn't it?
