I had this module working previously, but then I upgraded to the latest stable version and am now having this "We could not determine the height and width of the video" problem. Btw, I don't have Metadata enabled.

I'm getting this:
Executing command: nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i 'sites/default/files/videos/original/FILENAME.mov' 2>&1

Followed by this:
We could not determine the height and width of the video: sites/default/files/videos/original/FILENAME.mov

Any thoughts?

In your transcoder please check what type of encoding, decoding facility it provide. It seems your FFMPEG doesn't have .mov decoding.

I don't have access to FFMPEG (using the client's webhost, powersurge.com) and I'm not even sure they have it installed, especially after seeing this:

I changed the file format to .avi, re-uploaded it and got this:
Video conversion failed for preset hq_flash. FFMPEG reported the following output: nice: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory

Please re-create few videos nodes and try uploading then you can debug

I tried mpg, mov, and avi. Just keep getting the same error string in recent entries:
We could not determine the height and width of the video: sites/default/files/videos/original/FILENAME.ext
Video conversion failed for preset hq_flash. FFMPEG reported the following output: nice: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: No such file or directory

Are you sure you have installed FFMPEG?

No, I've searched my client's host's support pages and found nothing regarding it, so it may not be installed/available. Besides convincing her to change hosts (I'm working on that), is there a workaround I can use for the ONE video I have to post? I can do the conversion with ffmpegX installed on my machine. What would I need to do to get the video node to call the .flv file I converted manually?

Make sure the "Enable video conversion." checkbox is empty for your video field.
