Forum topic: Transcoding Fails - Everything seems correct
Submitted by anthonybol on Sun, 2008/08/03 - 18:53.
Hello!
After working with my hosting company to configure PHP, I am now able to upload a 6MB video using Drupal and OpenVideo Package module.
When the video is uploaded, I run cron.php manually. However, the video does not get transcoded and I get a strange message on the page after running cron. This is all I see on the page:
export MALLOC_CHECK_=1; time /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -v 0 -y -i 'sites/default/files/videos/original/Last_Day.wmv' -b 320k -r 24 -g 48 -s 320x240 -ab 64k -ac 2 -ar 44100 sites/default/files/videos/temp/1.flv -pass 1 -passlogfile sites/default/files/videos/temp/2pass.1.log 2>&1 export MALLOC_CHECK_=1; time /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -v 0 -y -i 'sites/default/files/videos/original/Last_Day.wmv' -b 320k -r 24 -g 48 -s 320x240 -ab 64k -ac 2 -ar 44100 sites/default/files/videos/temp/1.flv -pass 2 -passlogfile sites/default/files/videos/temp/2pass.1.log 2>&1
** The original video is in sites/default/files/videos/original
** After running cron, there is nothing in sites/default/files/videos/transcoded
** I have set the path to ffmpeg to /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg.
Do I have things set up correctly?
Any help is appreciated.
Hi, I had the same problem, the reason might be, that the apache has not enough rights. I changed the the owner to off the ffmpeg, after that it worked.
Might helpt.
Greetings
