Converting mp4 videos

How is it that I can't convert mp4 videos, all other conversions work. What are the settings for this, I'm using 2.8.1 and the conversion is how it is.

<?php

$cmd_ffmpeg = "$config[ffmpeg] -i '$video_src' -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 32 -f flv $video_flv";

# For old version of mplayer
# $cmd_mencoder = "$config[mencoder] '$video_src' -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:l ast_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_fram es";

# For latest version of mplayer
$cmd_mencoder = "$config[mencoder] '$video_src' -o $video_flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:l ast_pred=3 -srate 22050 -ofps 24 -vf harddup";

# Convert video to mp4
$cmd_mp4 = "$config[ffmpeg] -i '$video_src' -acodec libfaac -ab 96k -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -crf 22 -threads 0 -b 500k $video_flv";

$convert_mp4 = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_3gp = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_mov = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_asf = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_mpg = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_avi = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_mpeg = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_wmv = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_rm = $cmd_mencoder;
$convert_dat = $cmd_mencoder;
:confused:

Hi,

Login to your FTP and go on Include/Setting/video_format.php

and change this line, to mp4



$video_output_format = 'mp4';



you must have a ffmpeg with h264 installed on your computer and x264

This h264 must this be installed on the server where the website is, because no mp4 format video converts yet the video_format.php is set to mp4.

Yes the it must be installed on the server where you site is hosted

Thanks I'll get onto them.

I checked with my host which is Hostupon and they have this h267 installed , and I'm using 2.8.1 and this is the line $video_output_format = 'mp4'; in video_format.php so I can't understand why the mp4 does not convert.

I get this result everytime
