need some ffmpeg help

[jrobles]

Greeting, I am working on a PHP project that requires uploading and converting videos using ffmpeg. I got the script to work with .MOV files, but for some reason .AVI files do not work. Any suggestions??

 

here is a stripped down version of my ffmpeg script

 

This works fine:

exec(ffmpeg -i movie.mov movie.flv);

 

This does not work:

exec(ffmpeg -i movie.avi movie.flv);

Have you tried a different avi file? Are you using absolute paths?

Also have you tried tweaking some of the audio and resolution settings? Not sure if it would help, but you never know...
