My mp4 videos wont show anymore.

I keep getting the following errors.

Error executing ffmpeg command for retrieving video info:
bin\ffmpeg.exe -i "sites/default/files/videos/files/videos/mpeg.mp4" 2>&1

and

passthru() [function.passthru]: Unable to fork [bin\ffmpeg.exe -i "sites/default/files/videos/files/videos/mpeg.mp4" 2>&1] in D:\hshome\deltaweb\deltasupplyco.com\sites\all\modules\video\transcoders\video_ffmpeg.inc on line 50.

fixed this from another guys post:

I found a quick way around this:

If your files are in compatible format, such as mp4, mpeg, avi, mpg, wmv, flv, you can do this to "by pass auto conversion":

Admin --> Content types --> Video --> Manage fields --> To the right of the video field, click "Configure" --> Uncheck "Enable video conversion"

That worked for me.

This did NOT work:

Admin menu --> video --> General tab --> Check "Bypass video conversion"

If you want transcoding, please look around for the error message "Unable to fork" in relation to PHP on the internet, I think PHP is unable to execute ffmpeg properly due to some misconfiguration.
