To further clarify, I edited ff.php and replaced the $output line, trying each of the three detailed on that tutorial page.

I tossed the command string:
$output ="{ffmpeg-cmd} -i {input} -vcodec libx264 -s {ffmpeg-vsize} -threads 4 {output}.mp4 2>&1";

At my hosting provider, they are going to have a look at it and see what may be the issue. This is the string I am having the best luck with, as it outputs an MP4, albeit one with 0bytes.

The tester completes with all green checks.

PHP Version: 5.4.26
FFMPEG Version: 0.6.5

The command is definitely ffmpeg. The full path is: /usr/bin/ffmpeg

The following is the output using that command, when I try to convert the test.avi. Also, yes, I did make sure that test.mp4 did not exist before starting.

Code Select 
File to convert: test.avi
Converted file: test.mp4
Command send to server: ffmpeg -i test.avi -vcodec libx264 -s 640x360 -threads 4 test.mp4 2>&1
FFmpeg output

PHPVibe has a typo on this page:
http://www.phprevolution.com/installing-phpvibe/

This Line:
Code Select 
$output ="{ffmpeg-cmd} -y -i {input} {output}.mp4 2<&1"";


Should be this:
Code Select 
$output ="{ffmpeg-cmd} -y -i {input} {output}.mp4 2<&1";


Upon testing this line, the 'Simplest command possible (debugging only):', this is my output:

Code Select 
File to convert: test.avi
Converted file: test.mp4
Command send to server: ffmpeg -y -i test.avi test.mp4 2<&1

It still generates a 0byte test.mp4 file, even with the simplest command available.

Thanks for all your help Alexander, I know all these support request can be overwhelming. Hopefully, once I get all the problems I run into nailed, I can put together a help cheat sheet, as I seem to have run into more complicated variants of already existing problems.

Then it's simple, the ffmpeg doesn't work. That debugging command works even on the most primitive ffmpeg versions.
I would suggest you get it uninstalled and install it according to the ffmpeg wiki for your operating system..
Make sure you uninstall it, a common mistake is to install 2 or more ffmpeg modules on the server (yes, it's possible they do not trow any error, just mess up the output badly).

My VPS is professionally installed and managed by A Small Orange. I have no ability to uninstall, or install FFMPEG. I run another video site on a different platform, and it handles uploading and converting the video fine, I've never looked at their video code (it is really terrible) but I am almost certain it uses FFMPEG in some way, as it was an install requirement.

I did some testing, and the tester folder is set to CHMOD 755, now here is the funny bit, if I change it to 777, I get a 404. This might sound strange, but I can't access CHMOD 777 folders. What if FFMPEG is being denied write permission, and that is why I am ending up with a 0 byte file?

So to clarify:

If I set my tester folder to 755, I can access it.
If I set my tester folder to 777, I can not access it; 404 error.

This is the same with any folder I create within the root of the website. If I set that folder to 777, I can not longer access it.

This is the content of my root .htaccess file:

Code Select 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^embed/([^/]*)/$ /embed.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^feed(.*)$ feed.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php?rp=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
</ifModule>

My host has upgraded FFMPEG to version .7 and replaced my PHP with suPHP, in an attempt to fix these errors. They still persist. I will keep at it:

As you can see, the error has changed.
Also, I am seeing if my host can get me updated to FFMPEG 2.3.

Alright, they can not upgrade past FFMPEG .7 without compiling CPANEL. So I am prodding them for answers. They are looking into the problem, and trying to figure out what is up. I will get this solved and leave it here for future inquisitors.

Well, this is new. This is the reply from my hosting:

QuoteI see. No, that is normal on SuPHP servers; it won't allow 777 on any file or folder, due security reasons. You need all files on 640 or 644 and folders on 755 only.

A few of my folders are set to 777.

I've started a thread on the FFMPEG site, and they seem to think my version is to far out to work. My hosting wants to charge to update past 0.7. Being cheap, I am trying to avoid paying for a CPANEL recompile. Here is the thread for any party interested.

http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1635&p=4612#p4612

Long story short, I am trying to add the executable to my site, and redirect the command to the new FFMPEG. I am going to try and install it through the bash here soon.
