I have successfully installed FFMPEG and related libraries.
If i upload the .avi file the thumbnail and flv created successfully.
But if i tried 3GP files then thumbnail created successfully but flv created with 0kb size.

If i try for .dat file then that files resides in /files directory only and not in output directory. no thumbnail no flav :(

When i try to view the node like http://xyz.com/node/123 then am getting Video currently not available

I have written
-i @input -f flv -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 64k -ac 1 @output
in Global as well as Page content type.

Please correct me if am wrong anywhere

Which version of Drupal are you using? Seems to be 5.x, but which revision?

Did you turn on performance tunings for JavaScript and/or CSS? If yes, does this work for you and do you have files >0kb in /sites/default/files/css or /sites/default/files/js ?

I have a similar problem with backup_migrate (#408974: Backups have a size of 0 Bytes) and optimized .css and .js-files. (#417616: Drupal Performance settings creates CSS files with a size of 0kB).

Hope that helps you getting closer to a solution.

This sounds like a problem with your server's FFMPEG binary. Try running a conversion command from the command line. If it can't successfully generate an FLV from the filetype you're using, then that's the problem.

Hi forschi,

I am using Drupal 5.2, and i really don't know how to turn on performance tunings for JavaScript and/or CSS.

My 0kb file resides in /var/www/np/files/output_diretory/
(as am using drupal 5.2)

Dear kendre_paresh,

I don't have in-dept experience compiling/installing FFMPEG. You might search around for forums related to installing/configuring that technology. Since this issue is now going outside the scope of the FlashVideo module itself, I'm going to close this issue.

I don't know, there to do this in D5. In D6 it's in /admin/settings/performance

Just FYI, if your FFMPEG commands aren't running the conversion successfully, making changes to your performance settings isn't going to help at all.

Yes, I know that, but when i get errors on terminal at the same time the .flv file get successfully created(sorry, not informed you earlier).
That's why am confused.
