Files will upload just fine, no matter how large. However, FFMPEG emits a 0kb flv file anytime the original file is larger than about 1 or 2 MB. Files that are smaller than that have no problems being processed. I suspect this is a setting somewhere. I'm using the default configuration on FFMPEG and have tried doing a custom setting with the exact same results.

Title: FFMPEG fails on files bigger than 2MB » FFMPEG fails on files bigger than 1 or 2MB

I've done some more experimenting. FFMPEG will work on any file that has the audio set to 22.5khz and encode the entire video, no matter how large or how long. But videos that are NOT 22.5khz audio will only encode if they are less than 1 or 2 MB.

can you post the file that you're having trouble with, or contact me and then you an email it to me?

I resolved this. I needed to set the encode settings to 22.5khz in FFMPEG. As noted elsewhere, it's good to have options on the audio rates, but they should be limited to the ones that flash will accept... or at least some notes added to the field saying "set at 22.5khz or 44.1khz for flash encoding".

There is now a fix in ffmpeg_wrapper that does this really nicely. Closing ticket
