Two things:

1. You are running this on Windows, which is probably not supported as the server requirements specifically state that you have to be running on a linux server. However, this fact is more than likely not your problem.

2. Mencoder is exiting out. This is most likely due to an error. I don't have a an installation on Windows so I can't test this out for you, but I suspect that the problem is going to be in the conversion code that is used. If you notice here:

CONVERT COMMAND: C:/wamp/bin1/mencoder 'C:/wamp/www/video/blair-1.MPG.mpg' -o C:/wamp/www/flvideo/1220987201842051896.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 -ofps 24 -vf harddup

This command is what is converting your video from MPEG to FLV. What I would do is from that machine, open a command prompt (Start--RUN--CMD) and type in the above command (or just copy and paste it) and see what happens. If it gives you an error, then you have some place to start troubleshooting. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm suspecting that the problem is going to be in the fact that there are single quotes being used above ('C:/wamp/www/video/blair-1.MPG.mpg'). Single quotes work fine on UNIX-based systems (such as Linux). On Windows, however, single quotes are not used. Rather, Windows uses double quotes.

Here's something to try:

Open up your video_conversion.php file (it's located in the includes/settings directory). Under the mplayer sections, find the part that says

'$video_src'

Replace that with:

\"$video_src\"

And give it a try.

bplex thanks that has got the test server now converting videos correctly
iam running more tests trying all different video's so far the conversion is good a little slow but thats ok
at least the ffmpeg works iam running on xp pro server with sp3
this is my site holder http://jammin.isa-geek.com/index.php.old
here is link to it http://jammin.isa-geek.com

now that i got it going on my server i think i should put a little tutorial up

thanks bro

[bplex]

Not a problem at all

[ccr1969]

just a quick ? i can't get my upload progress bar working in my windows machine

was wondering now that the script was built for linux what i would need to change

# Makes %ENV safer
$ENV{'PATH'} = '/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin';
delete @ENV{'IFS', 'CDPATH', 'ENV', 'BASH_ENV'};

i have changed my path to my cgi-bin #!"E:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe" -w

this is no biggy but i strive to make things work


error iam getting

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: uu_upload.pl

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Unfortunately, you would have to rewrite the entire progress bar script to get it to work in a Windows environment as the script itself is written for Unix-based systems. Most of the functions that the script calls do not exist in Windows.
