Hello!
I am trying to test ffmpeg conversion feature.
It does not convert anything, ffmpeg is always exiting with error code #1.
What does it mean and how to solve it?

[Marius P.]

Hi,
what is your ffmpeg version?

Hi, Mario.
Thank you for the topic update...
I have version 0.6.5 installed on the hosting. I did'nt pay attention to the minimum requirements. The conversion function needs 1.x+ minimum...
Isn't it?

[Marius P.]

Indeed, 0.6 doesn't play well with .mp4 and fast start. If you give me the error itself via the tester, I can try to give you an version for 0.6, but is an poor choice (will trow you couple of years back in video conversion).

This is the link for the tester:

I asked the hoster, he told that he can upgrade the ffmpeg, but it will take time..
Could you please give me update for using last phpvibe with ffmpeg 0.6 for now?
Thanks

Hi,
I've noticed now my colleagues already have them on step 5 http://www.phpvibe.com/installing-phpvibe/

Hi, Mario, thank you for update.
This code
$output ="{ffmpeg-cmd} -i {input} -vcodec libx264 -s {ffmpeg-vsize} -threads 4 {output}.mp4 2>&1";
makes the output mp4 but it is always empty (0 bytes length)...
I am using ffmpeg 0.6.5. What is exact code for this version of ffmpeg?

[anokana]

This is the output message I'm getting, the target file is empty:

[Bob.Weston]

it makes no sense to continue testing until your servers FFMPEG is updated, phpVibe does not work with FFMPEG 0.6.5

Tell your host to upgrade the FFMPEG, the latest version is 2.4.1

The last one should work on 0.6 but with poor results (0.6 was flash till the bone, working with .flv mainly).
