Video Generation Failed!

[chalo]

changing ">& ffmpeg.log" to "&> /tmp/ffmpeg.log" in zmvideo.pl also fixed my problem with ubuntu 7.10 server 64 bit and 1.22.3-7

Thanks!

I changed the end of the line 323 of zmvideo.pl from ">& ffmpeg.log" to ">& /tmp/ffmpeg.log" but this didn't fix my problem
I am not still be able to generate the video file.
I have this error:

Code: Select all

Apr 24 09:27:06 laptop1140l zmvideo[29570]: INF [Creating video file Event-18-r1-s1.mpg for event 18] 
Apr 24 09:27:06 laptop1140l zmvideo[29570]: ERR [Unable to generate video, check /var/www/zm/events/1/18/ffmpeg.log for details]

The ffmpeg.log file doesn't exist, even if I change the path to /tmp/ffmpeg.log (the file does not exist at this location too).
The /var/www/zm/events/1/18 directory is "drwxr-xr-x www-data www-data", so it is writeable by the Apache user.

How I can solve this problem?
Thank you very much!
Bye.

I can generate just mpeg and mpg, when i run the mpg or mpeg generated video I see some seconds good video quality and the to the end really bad quality.

During the generation i see 96% CPU used and 0.5 memory.

how can I solve it? I want to generate avi
