I managed to fix the error but I need to know the locations ffmpeg, flvtool2 and mencoder. According to the installation diognistic they are installed but I need to know their locations. Their defaults pre-entered are all within /usr/bin/ but I can't see them in there so does anybody know where else those modules may be installed?

Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

Have you fixed the video yet?

Google is your friend.

Use [code] tags.

If you have found a solution to your problem, please mark the thread as SOLVED.

Your web host support should be helpful there.

From the shell, do:

Help with Code Tags

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

echo $PATH

To see each folder that is searched for commands.

You can then just search each folder like:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ls /usr/bin | grep "ffmpeg\|flvtool2\|mencoder"
ls /usr/bin | grep "ffmpeg\|flvtool2\|mencoder"

or to search all in one go, something like:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
echo $PATH | sed s/\:/\ /g | xargs find | grep 'ffmpeg\|flvtool2\|mencoder'
echo $PATH | sed s/\:/\ /g | xargs find | grep 'ffmpeg\|flvtool2\|mencoder'

the above takes the system path and searches each directory in there for ffmpeg, flvtool2 and mencoder.

On the shared hosting I use, I got:

Help with Code Tags

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

/usr/bin/ffmpeg
/bin/flvtool2

Of course, you could have those binaries in a folder not added to the system path, so you'll can either use "find" to search around, or just:

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ls | grep 'ffmpeg\|flvtool2\|mencoder'
ls | grep 'ffmpeg\|flvtool2\|mencoder'

In folders you think it may be in.

I am trying to upload it into the cms at http://syntax.cwarn23.info/ however I just get a internal server 500 error and another error saying "ERROR: Failed to find flength file". So the cms suggested a few posts ago just isn't working.

[edit]
I just tried the above commands but they did not reviel the locations of those directories. I have also tried browsing the root with a SCP program but still can't find it even though the installation said it was installed. Also as previously mentioned, the progress bar for uploading videos only displays an error.

Looks like I might just embed the videos in my mediawiki cms but I have just uploaded the latest video at http://syntax.cwarn23.info/media/new.html
Took 24 hours to upload and I've improved the quality but haven't checked the entire video for the blank out due to it's size. So if anybody would like to comment on it continue.

Played for me but the video has a quality rate of 250kbps and a 6 second buffer. Unfortunately any less quality and the code is grainy. I'm using Opera 10 but does anybody recommend a better wmv2flv converter... Also can anybody else get it to play...
