Hello,

When i try to convert a 250mb .wmv file to and .flv, the thumbnail gets generated and uploaded to my Amazon s3 bucket, but the converted .flv still resides on my server and is not uploaded. When I run a manual cron after the cron completes I get a blank page, or when I set the module to convert right after I save the node, again a blank page appears. Now, the funny thing is that if I use a smaller file size like 20mb .wmv, everything works fine, and the .flv file uploads from my server to Amazon. I've asked my hosting company if there could be any limitation on what the server uploads under circumstances like this and they say no, as well there does not seem to be any error logs generated by the server if i ssh in to take a look. I am at your mercy, any help would be really great thanks,

This is most likely your PHP timing out. Please verify that you have the max_execution_time set to a very high value in your php.ini file.

solved the blank page issue i believe. i was getting ffmpeg error logs in apache and had to create a symlink from /usr/bin/ffmpeg to /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg. but still can not upload large files. it hangs.

i actually had the max_execution_timet already set for 2000. i'm uploading at around 350kb/s. so i should be able to get the complete file up in time. i've checked error logs for php and apache. both are pretty clean.

what more can i check?

thank you,

ephraim.
