Hi there,

i need flashvideo + ffmpeg to transcode and display some long videos (about 30 min and 190 MB) ...

first look: everything worked fine fine fine and fast ... BUT when I came to the end of the video while watching, i had 2 problems:

- the video is cut - about 2 min from the end are missing
- there is no scrollbar in jw player - no possibility to jump, move foward or backward, while watching

are there any limits for long videos? is there a possibility to adjust anything?

Thanks for any help!

My recommendation would be to try running the conversion command from the command line using the FFMPEG command and see if you still get the same result with the long video being chopped off at the end.

For your second problem, I'd recommend getting FLVTool2 installed. Videos converted via FFMPEG don't have any metadata (such as duration) by default. FLVTool2 will add this metadata to your files, and integrates well with FlashVideo module.

thanks for your answer!

1. could you give me a short how to for converting via command line ;-) don't know where to do this
2. flvtool2 is installed and the correct path is in the flashvideo settings: any shorter videos are displayed correctly (duration and scrollbar)

I just did a video tutorial with sample FFMPEG commands this past weekend. You'll find a link to this on the FlashVideo module's home page.
