Video conversion not working

I see the same thing with no conversion taking place. The ffmpeg command is not appropriate to convert the video to FLV. I have that preset selected and FlowPlayer setup. The command I see in the log is:

Executing command: /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i '<NAME OF FILE>' 2>&1

Thumbnails generated no problem.

I'm seeing the same thing....I've created my content type to upload a video (mov, flv, avi) and to convert once node is saved. What I've been to do is convert test.avi and convert to test.flv and results are:

1. I see the uploaded file /files/videos/original folder
2. I see no converted *.flv file in the /files/videos converted folder or in my configured /files/videos/[user] folder
3. I do see thumbs in configured /flies/videos/thumb_import folder

FFMPEG is working because I have upload files to root /var/www/ and then user FFMPEG to convert the files. So maybe I'm configuring the module wrong? Please help!

How frustrating.

I'm seeing the same things you are, the thumbnails generate fine. I know my ffmpeg is working as I have it converting video (with a hacked media mover module and a homebrew module) in another site on the very same server.

I also know that Video module can work swimmingly, as I have it functioning on another site, at another host, but there I use zencoder to convert and amazon to store the files. It takes a bit too long for this project, so that's why I'm attempting to use video and ffmpeg on its own here.

I keep getting stuck in this very spot you are stuck in. It's difficult to see where it's going wrong with such a short log message, is it in the moving/copying of the file?

It looks like there is a bug on line 409 in video.module.

The line:

  if (is_array($file) && isset($file['fid']) && !empty($file['fid']) && !isset($file['data']['bypass_autoconversion'])) {

should be:

if (is_array($file) && isset($file['fid']) && !empty($file['fid']) && !$file['data']['bypass_autoconversion']) {

because the checkbox element is returning a value whether or not it's checked -- it's returning 0 for an unchecked state and 1 for a checked state.

The fix in #4 works. Leaving active until a patch is supplied, then can be updated to RTBC.

Patch including the fix found in #4 is attached.

I'm running into the same issue described here, with Video 7.x-1.0-alpha2. I know that FFMPEG is working because the thumbnails are being generated and it is picking up the dimensions of the uploaded videos. However, there are no converted videos in the files/videos/converted folders. Any thoughts?

After searching on my own (think it s the same problem) I found that if you have no preset selected under "presets" configuration tab, no video is being converted at all... it just doesn't execute the command then. Which makes sense if I think about it, but it might be helpfull to state that video conversion just doesnt work without a preset....

the thing is, now I have a converted file in my /converted folder.. but the node still shows the original avi file... shouldn't this be changed after the conversion? any ideas?

Still not working after patched the code. This log shows there's no encoding preset was transfer to the command line, but I do choose every preset.
Executing command: /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i '<NAME OF FILE>' 2>&1

so, any ideas?

hmm, I used swftools-2.5 but not swftools-3.0 cause it's on beta, it's that the reason the transcoding doesn't work?

FML, that's my fault, I didn't check "Enable video conversion." in the video field configuration. since I used this module for 6 months, what I can tell....囧

Please try again with the latest video version and open a new issue if it doesn't work.
