I got the error message:
FFmpeg version git: 5d55830 was found, but no supported codecs could be found. Please check whether FFmpeg and all support libraries have been installed correctly.

I am running my site off of my own windows PC, the builds I tried are from Zeranoe FFmpeg x64, both the static version and the shared version. I am new to Video with drupal, and probably it is because the module doesn't support this version? Well the directory is correct, but somehow the codec libraries that are bundled with this build are not supported?. I just unzipped everything from the build to the root location of my hosting hard drive at /usr/local/, probably the installation isn't that easy?

Please help me find the correct Windows build that works with this module, or correctly install the build...
Thanks a bunch.

I don't have much experience with running the Video module on Windows. It may be that codec detection doesn't work due to some specific Windows issue. It will take me a while to setup Drupal on Windows, so if you can find out what the problem is, that would be very helpful.

hi,
I've just installed ffmpeg on my Ubuntu 12.04 following the instruccions in https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide
and i get this error when i try to configure ffmpeg transcoder in the video module of my drupal 7 installation.
I have 7.x-2.7 version of video module

First i had to change the location of ffmpeg binary to /usr/local/bin because it cant be found at /usr/bin.
i get this error too.
I've made a symbolic link to /usr/bin and i reset the location to /usr/bin.
But the error still appears.

In the server if i ask for the codecs with ffmpeg -codecs i get a huge list of a lot of codecs supported

Maybe is the new version of ffmpeg, i've updated it because the one i have instaled was deprecated.

Can you help me with this issue?

Thanks,
ANA

Can you post the info from the debug page? I think the output format from ffmpeg changed again.
