what are the correct settings to convert original flv to mp4?

fitboy · 2013-05-03 17:47:34

Hi,

I am having trouble getting original flv files converted to mp4. I have the following settings:

FLV Convert No (default: Yes)
FLV Re-Convert No (re-convert FLV files)

Convert to MP4 Yes (default: Yes)
MP4 Re-Convert: Yes (re-convert MP4 files)

I also tried setting flv re-convert to YES but it didn't change a thing.

Original FLV files just stay as FLV, but they do get converted to mobile mp4 properly.
I would just prefer to have only MP4 files as final converted videos, regardless of the original file format.

WMV converts well to MP4 and mobile, but only flv files just stay that way.

Can you help me please?

Because MP4 is smaller and has better quality. Your ffmpeg installation might not be good if the conversion doesnt work.

okay thank you, but the settings are correct that way? (just to rule this out as possible reason)

Edit modules/video/scripts/convert.php and replace:

} elseif (!isset($flv_copy)) {

with:

} elseif {

thanks! I tried editing the convert.php and replaced the part accordingly. Now what happens is that the conversion queue is not processed at all anymore. The uploaded flv stays as "queued" even though the cron-job is set. If I revert the changes, the same video gets processed the next time the cron runs. However with the old effect that the flv file is just being copied and not converted to mp4 :-(
There is probably more that needs to be changed so that flv files get converted to mp4 (if it's set that way). Can you help please?
