Gosh - I've been trying to get this to work for about a week now, without success.

I'm using the latest dev version (as of 10/20/10) and FFMPEG wrapper no longer shows up as an option, so I'm using straight FFMPEG.

When I try to encode, I get the following error:

user warning: Unknown column 'data' in 'field list' query: UPDATE video_files SET status=0, completed=0, data='a:0:{}' WHERE vid=0 in home/[domain]/public_html/sites/all/modules/video/transcoders/video_ffmpeg.inc on line 194.

And the video never gets processed.

I've been through at least two dev versions now and the latest version now allows transcoding settings to be changed (thank you!), but what's interesting to note here is that if I deinstall and reinstall, the settings are remembered. This makes me wonder if data from earlier modules is messing things up somehow. (I no longer see FFMPEG Wrapper as an option now, no matter what I do, for one thing.)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!

we are developing module for HTML5 video support, currently we could only completed multi type conversions with Zencoder.

You can now now we have presets for transcoding videos, that is the biggest change we did and we changed the database so no point of using dev version until we release a stable version, we need to modify install files as well.

You can use latest stable version, then you can convert videos and all with FFMPEG and Zencoder.

We are no longer supporting for ffmpeg_wrapper as its just duplication FFMPEG when we use presets.

Thank you, heshan.lk - I now have it working using the release version with a few "bumps," though, which I'll document here for those who may be running into similar problems:

After falling back to the release version, I had to create a content type with a different name. Deleting the old contact type and recreating it with the same machine name gave me a "user warning: Table '[database].content_type_[machine name]' doesn't exist" error. As an additional clue here, when I deleted the old contact type and recreated it with the same name, the field was already in place upon creation, so there's something that's not getting cleared out here.

• Thumbnail generation only works for me if you have the amount of thumbnails set to 1 and the thumbnail command is edited to replace !seek with the amount of seconds into the video for the thumbnail generation.

• I don't think that changing the audio parameters has any effect; the audio seems to be lo-res even if I change the sample rate in the command to 44100 (from 22500) and the but rate to 192000.

• Video will not convert on save as advertised; you must run cron.php to get conversion.

• Custom thumbnails don't work as advertised; there's no upload field. Generated thumbnail must be used.

In any event, at least I can get going for now - I'll check back in for later releases. Thanks again for getting back and for all the work you're doing here!

I tried the latest dev tonight, and got this error as well. Re-opening in case it's a real issue.

I took the advice above and went with RC6 for now.
