The current module webpage states that only a few function calls need to be updated, but it does not state which ones. A migration guide or at least some documentation is needed.

The Video module supports ffmpeg_wrapper, but is broken with the 2.x version and I can't say where it needs to be fixed, see #779802: Fatal errors with ffmpeg_wrapper version 6.x-2.x

I definitely need some info. At least a readme file, or a getting sarted doc. How to install codecs, and so on.
I read the readme file ifrom the beta2 but it doesn't provide more info about how to install codecs.

I tried to run ffmpeg -formats in my terminal and got a lot of possible formats, but from there I don't know how to make those available in the select list widget from video module (available in 4.X dev for example).

@jerome F - It sounds like you are looking for help that is really outside the scope of this module. I've posted a few things on my blog about installing ffmpeg and there are lots of resources around the web to do so (I have a very old post here: http://24b6.net/2007/06/15/ffmpeg-wmv-mp4)

@volx I have not released an official version of the 2.x module as other developers need time to update their modules. I'm also waiting for more people to test the latest version
