When I upload a file it seems that the correct command for ffmpeg does not execute. I get the error.

"Something went wrong with your video conversion. Please check your recent log entries for further debugging.
The selected file could not be copied, because no file by that name exists. Please check that you supplied the correct filename."

In the logs I see that the command that was executed is:
"Executing command: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i 'sites/mydomain.com/files/myfile.flv' 2>&1"

I've got iPhone MOV enabled in presets. It does not fun ffmpeg with the correct options. On the command line I can convert a file using ffmpeg, so it is correctly configured.

"Executing command: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i 'sites/mydomain.com/files/myfile.flv' 2>&1"

This is just a one command to get video info from FFMPEG, so there should be some other commands running in. Check logs.

Thank you. I did see the other commands now.

I manually ran the command. And I get this output.
