Well I am still stuck on this one, I have done some poking around but have not made any progress. Maybe I am confused about the process. It was my thinking that Indytube would be converting the uploaded file to a .ogg and creating a .flv "wrapper" for displaying the .off in the flow player. I was able to do in as an admin and publish the video that was uploaded, but that didnt do anything , it still does not show up as an embedded video on the page, just a link to download the video in its original .mpg format. And I still have the Transcode Status:The transcoding failed.<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>James<br><br><hr>From: sienasoft1@hotmail.com<br>To: discuss@lists.plumi.org<br>Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:30:12 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [plumi-discuss] (no subject)<br><br>

Thanks Andy and Datakid/Musicman/L<br><br>That worked perfectly. I deleted the lockfile and also bumped the NUMBER_OF_PARALLEL_ENCODERS and I am now converting my files to .ogg but the flv file are ending up as 0 bytes. I took the command that it is executing from the log file and ran it at the command line. It doesn't spit anytyhing back out at me and just goes back to a command prompt, I was hoping to see some kind of error message there. It is not a permisions problem because it does create the file, its just empty. The command I tried at command line that returned nothing was:<br><br>/usr/bin/mencoder -quiet /opt/Plone-2.5.5/zeocluster/client1/var/files/Members/jagaworktest/videos/8pounder.mpg -o /var/www/plumi-flv-files/8pounder.flv -really-quiet -of lavf -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:keyint=50:vbitrate=150:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=320:240 -srate 22050 <br><br><br>######################################<br>Here is a little excerpt from the log.<br><br>2008-08-22 09:24:46,948 INFO Ending indytube...
