I can upload .flv files, and they play without a problem.

I can upload other types of videos, for example .wmv, and when I manually run the cron cycle, a thumbnail is created, however, the video is never converted. The files directory shows the original video and the thumbnail image.

Any ideas how/where I should go to troubleshoot?

Have you verified that your FFMpeg install is functioning correctly? Can you successfully convert files via ssh? FLV files are not converted by flashvideo, only a thumb is created, so that is why FLV is working while other formats are not - in my experience, this issue is due to FFMpeg not being installed or configured correctly. SSH to your server and experiment with converting files via command line, if that isn't working then there is your problem.

mp3 codec wasn't installed on my server. I had to use the libmp3lame codec. Under ffmpeg settings, I changed "ffmpeg Command" to:

-i @input -f flv -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 64k -ac 1 @output
