I was having trouble getting media mover to transcode videos, as they would all come out as 0k.

So, I set up a media mover config using all default settings, and it still creates 0k flv files.

The input file is a .mov file, which I was previously able to convert using ffmpeg (with FlashVideo) with no issues.

Sorry, now I see you said all default. Can you check your logs and see if there is anything in there?

Can you try switching the audio settings to use the mp3 lame codec? I think it's trying to use a codec that doesn't exist

the ffmpeg binary I'm using does not have another lame specific mp3 format, it just lists mp3.

here's the output from the server's ffmpeg -formats:

Can you try running:

ffmpeg -i 'files/media_mover/ftp_files/AngieCarpenter_1.mov' -acodec mp3 'files/media_mover/ffmpeg/converted/6/AngieCarpenter_1.mov.flv'

and see if it throws errors? Maybe a bitrate error?

cameronp commented

Just my 2c I had a similar problem - Ran ffmpeg manually, and found that flv mp3 requires 22khz or 44hkz i think - Usually its just a wrong setting here that causes the prob. Set to manual settings fixed it for me.

arthurf commented

Yes, I think the default may require a bit rate setting for FLV, I just wanted to avoid putting in additional settings if possible. Ultimately, ffmpeg_wrapper needs to know about "good configurations" and set options based on what output types are chosen.

arthurf commented

I've added the notion of output (read .flv) configurations that ffmpeg_wrapper can hand back. With some strict form naming, I'll be able to set the values a form that asks ffmpeg_wrapper for config data. Should be ready in a few weeks.
