If I upload a mp4 file, the CKK field, which I have defined in the settings ("Save the finished video to this CCK file field") is not set.

This persists in latest dev.
Marking "major" since this breaks flashvideo_get_video_object() and flashvideo_get_video()

I just worked with an MP4 file. The point is it's considered a "flash file" since flash can play it directly, so it skips passing it through ffmpeg entirely (I think, anyway - just trying to provide some insight from my recent experience).

Title: CKK finished video file field is not set when uploading mp 4 files » CKK finished video file field is not set when uploading mp4 or flv files

Right, but the point is that the finish_video field doesn't get populated.
The finish_video field should at least contain something - either a duplicate entry or a reference back to the original - so that flashvideo_get_video_object() and flashvideo_get_video() still behave as expected.

As it is now, these functions crash and burn when an mp4 or an flv is uploaded.

Has anyone solved this? This is breaking my workflow.
