I have the video module set up (using FFMPEG and convert on save) and everything is working correctly except when updating the node. When I first create a node, the video will get converted as it should. If I then edit the node to change the transcoding dimensions or even the video, the video doesn't get converted.

there is no way yet to re trasncode video by changing just the dimension in D6 version, but we fixed it on D7 version. In D6 you have to upload a new video in to the node to make it effect. Patches are welcome.

I've tried changing the video that is in the node, but that doesn't seem to work either. I edit the node, remove the old video, then upload a new video into the node, and when I save it the conversion doesn't happen and it outputs the following html.

<div class="field-item odd">
 <object height="600" width="800" data="" type="video/x-ms-wmv">
  <param type="" valuetype="ref" value="" name="src">
  <param value="true" name="animationatStart">
  <param value="true" name="transparentatStart">
  <param value="0" name="autostart">
  <param value="1" name="controller">
  No video?  Get the Windows Media <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/">Plugin</a>
 </object>
</div>

The only way that I can get it to work is to delete the entire node and recreate it.

I'm having the same issue using the Zencoder transcoder plugin instead of the FFMPEG transcoder. There is a message indicating that our file is being sent to the Zencoder transcoder site, but the video never arrives, and is never removed from our server.

Please see the configuration, this should be a misconfiguration on your video settings.

Hi I am having this problem too. When I create a node with video field. It is working properly but when I update node with new video, conversion is not working.
I have checked all option but I could not find any option to covert video on update if video is changed.
I am using Video 6.x-5.0

Thanks.

Could you open a new issue for this instead of reusing a very old issue?
