Video, video comment + video record codec error

Hi all,

I know there is alot of topics on ffmpeg, video comment, video errors but I tried it all and found nothing that work for me.

These are working perfect so far:

• My RMS server ** Working perfect
• Video/Audio Chat ** Working perfect
• Uploading Videos in FLV, MP4 ** Working Perfect
• CRON is well setup ** Working Perfect
• CHMOD 777 as been applied on ffmpeg.exe
• CHMOD the proper xml files and /files folder as mention in the installation of the flash modules

The only time that it makes an error is when I use the Webcam Recorder option (on my mac).
It records, upload, convert it in FLV, MP4(ipod version I presume) in the folder BUT seem to NOT be able to link the PATH at the end, it create that error and : Error! File not found is displayed.

Here is my CRON error log from the cron.php process:

- Do I miss a codec causing that problem?
- Did I forgot to CHMOD something else?
- Is it a mac compatibility issue?

You only need to post once. Why do you have 2 of the same posts?

Because BOONEX stop working for 1 hour at the same time I posted the first one, didn't realise it. but I don't see the delete option anymore for the first one. weird.

I have hidden the second post that accidentally created during the downtime.  As for your error, try going into your Admin Panel> Modules> Flash Apps> Video and disable h264 check box and see if that works.

This is the error message from the cron Without the H264 option.

What's up with the flv audio codec ? [flv @ 0x98a8180]Could not find codec parameters (Audio: 0x0000, 0 channels, s16)

Does it stop publish the process because of that error ?

Thanks for the help

Check this out! I troubleshoot with the FLASH settings of the webcam preview window in safari and guess what. If the Audio record volume is LESS then 30% and you don't make any noises, it will create a flv with no audio in it. Looks like it auto filter background noise to 0 if no sound as been made.

Thats really bad :( Is there a way to configure ffmpeg to make flv with no audio too?

Right now if theres only video, it create a error.

I also found this to let create flv with no audio.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1951773/how-to-encoding-no-sound-recorded-red5-video-via-ffmpeg

But where do I add this extra command?

I still have this problem, anyone?
