Can I use .mov files

[mediageek]

Hi Phil

I have tried to upload a file to my own site 32meg but it will not go up to the server what am I doing wrong?

It just sits and tries to upload but never does

im having problem with some video file to play. Specialy with .mov and .mpeg files.

This is what i have in my debug.txt file for a .mov file:

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

I made a convert.php file and i made it run using the Convert Command, this is what it returned for the uploaded file:

MEncoder 1.0rc1-3.4.6 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ (Family: 15, Model: 75, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE SSE2 Exiting... (error parsing command line)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last line of the output: Exiting... (error parsing command line)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return value: 1

Is it because im running an old player version? or it is because the MEncoder is not installed properly?

Looking at your debug file it looks like the file name for your .mov has spaces in it.
I'm not sure this will fix it, but I've noticed problems with video file names that have spaces in them.
When I changed the file name of the exact same movie file that failed and replaced the spaces with _ then it uploaded and converted just fine. I think it's a Unix thing.

Give it a try.

Yeah, you are exactly right, now my command line is set so it can works with space in the name and it works good. My host server gave me the same answer as you did. Thanks.

From vshare 2.3, we do not rename the uploaded file, so if you upload a file with space in it, it will not get converted.

To fix the problem, open

include/settings/video_conversion.php

FIND

$video_src

REPLACE WITH

'$video_src'

That is single quotes before and end of $video_src
