Drupal 6.11
WAMPServer

After installing FFMPEG Wrapper, viewing the Administrator>Site Configuration>FFMPEG Wrapper, shows this error at the top of the page.

The FFMPEG Wrapper Test Conversion tab has no options in the Output Format drop down (only 'Select Output Type').

Can anyone help with this? We're trying to get FFMPEG working on a Windows (WAMPServer) PC, and this issue has me stalled at the moment. I would really appreciate some help --is there further info I could provide that would make it easier to troubleshoot?

Can you update to the beta version and let me know if you're having the same issues? FYI- I don't have access to a WAMP environment, so if the issue is related to that, it will be harder for me to help, but I'll give it my best.

Found this:

http://forums.kayako.com/f56/php-warning-call-time-pass-reference-has-be...

Which suggests turning on the 'Allow call-time pass-by-reference' switch in PHP.ini, which I did. This error no longer appears. I still don't have an option available under 'Output Format', but that's apparently a different issue. Closing this.

Sorry -- arthurf -- I had the window open and didn't notice that you'd responded. Thank you for responding. Please let me know if you think my assumption (that just allowing call time reference in the php.ini file) is a mistake -- I'll try to get more info about how things are working at this point before I post another issue about the lack of Output Format options. Thank you for responding!

How do you even begin to install FFMPEG? I dont even know where to begin. I've downloaded it already and have all the files. I also installed the video module.

Should I import the FFMPEG files into my modules? If not how do I install it and where? Please someone help!
Thank you in advance.

@Jbaren01 - there are lots of resources on the web to help you do this. You can also download a binary from http://24b6.net/content/ffmpeg-binary

I had this problem, specifically that the drop down had no entries. Just to add to this correct answer : )

I documented the update I used at http://dev.vozmob.net/projects/vozmob/wiki/Sending_video_but_transcoding...
