When managing the video field the WxH dropdowns for default resolution/player dimensions are empty.

After uploading a video these dropdowns are also blank.

When I try to view the video node I get the following error:

Something is wrong with your dimensions. Make sure you enter dimensions in the form of WxH.
Something is wrong with your player dimensions. Make sure you enter the player dimensions in the form of WxH.

Have I missed something?

Please check your video settings and there is an options to use FLVTools2 with video module, enable it and install FlvTools2 in to the server.

OK, did that. That part is now working.

It was an easy install on Ubuntu.

> sudo apt-get install flvtool2

It was placed in the default location expected by the video module.

Not very useful if you can't install anything on the server such as with shared hosting (not my choice). Simply trying to use FileField Sources to attach an FTPed file and play the video, simple as that. The video works fine but this error is annoying and since it's visible to all, it puts a kink in the whole solution.

Need this error message to go since it clearly has no effect on functionality that I can tell:
Something is wrong with your dimensions. Make sure you enter dimensions in the form of WxH.
Something is wrong with your player dimensions. Make sure you enter the player dimensions in the form of WxH.

(FYI, I have indeed installed FLVTool2 on my other servers and this error message wasn't a problem/visible)

The issue is quite old. I assume you are using a newer version than 4.1-rc2. If that is the case, could you update the version property of this issue, otherwise please update the module to 4.3-rc1.
