Description
Other video formats like .wmv .mp4 . are often "Conversion failed."
I uploaded an mp4 file and tried converting using the conversion command:
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i "/home/backpack/public_html/sites/default/files/videos/video_85.mp4" -f flv -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 -ab 64k -ac 1 "/home/backpack/public_html/sites/default/files/videos/video5.flv"
The script after uploading is not calling ffmpeg command to convert that mp4 file.
And BTW, WMV file is not supported by ffmpeg if it is encoded for WMP 9/10?
environment: latest JWplayer and Drupal 6
#1
A test with video.m4v also gave
an error: * Conversion failed.
On investigation:
The video file was created but as a zero k file
The thumbnail was created but shows as only a black .jpg (presumably because the video was blank)
video2.mov converted with no problems!
video2.flv plays and shows the thumbnail :)

Did you try running these file conversions from the command line to make sure that your installation of FFMPEG isn't the problem?
#3
yea i did. i don't think it is FFMPEG's problem
#4
The script was not calling ffmpeg command. Is there any conversion log at Flashvideo?
#5
There is an ffmpeg_data table in your database. Assume you have the option turned on in the FlashVideo settings, you'll find your conversion errors there.
#6
Still believe it is a Flashvideo's issue rather than ffmpeg's
There is a similar one:

There's still not enough detail here for us to go on. Lots of folks are successfully converting WMV, AVI, etc. We need more detail. What errors are you receiving?
FYI, MP4 files are intentionally not converted to FLV. See #233995: MP4 support for details.
