Convert Error! help needed

**dealspiggy** · 10-13-2008, 04:26 AM

finally I have the ffmpeg environment install by using a ffmpeg installer.

I tried to upload a .wmv video to my vshare testing site, and the upload process was successful. However I found the convert error when I checked it in the 'process queue' at the backend. However, the video thumbnail can be extracted.

Here's the error:

Convert Error or converted video is less than 1 kb in size, try upload a big video. If that do not work, verify convert command works on the server.

Edit the video_conversion.php (include/settings)
Try to use the following command

Code:

    $cmd_mencoder = "$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:last_pred=3 -srate 22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames";
