Hello guys,
I am having the same problem like zeffer.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

My Palm Treo 700p records video in a .3g2 extension that vshare will not accept

Is this the same file type as the compatible .3gp extension? If so, would there be
an easy way to use these videos?

vshare use mencoder/ffmpeg for converting video into FLV format. If mencoder support the video format, it will work fine with vshare, if not it will not work.

To add .3gp2 extension, edit

Edit include/settings/upload.php

FIND

$file_types = array("flv","3gp","mp4","mov","asf","mpg","avi","mpeg","wmv","rm","dat");

Add .3gp2 in the list like

$file_types = array("flv","3gp","mp4","mov","asf","mpg","avi","mpeg","wmv","rm","dat","3gp2");

EDIT include/settings/video_conversion.php

FIND

$convert_3gp = $cmd_all;

Add below

$convert_3gp2 = $cmd_all;

If you need a different command to convert 2gp2 video, you can add it like

$convert_3gp2 = "ADD COMMAND TO CONVER 3GP2 VIDEO TO FLV FORMAT HERE";

I did the edits as requested with no success. The .3g2 video files from my Treo 700p don't seem to be compatible. I can convert them to another format the upload. What would be the best format to use to upload in. Is there one that has better compression or faster processing time?

Hello Admin, everything works great on my site but the only problem is when i try to upload .flv it does not generate a thumbnail for the clip. is there anything that could be done about it?

[admin]

It may be due to the ffmpeg installed on your server is not able to create thumbnail from the .flv file you upload. If you are using vshare 2.6, in admin area, you can set mplayer to create thumbnail, try that and see if that works. Also verify the .flv file is not corrupted by uploading it on some other vshare sites, for example - http://video.bizhat.com

Setting mplayer to create thumbnails sloved my problem. but now I have about 5 people telling me that they can see no thmbnails even thought i see them fine on my screen, any idea as to why some cant see thumbnail using the same browser im using?
