Are you sure FFMPEG is in your path? It looks like EnterMedia can't
find it.

[Steven Hale]

yes, its in the PATH for root and tomcat6 users...

the full error is:

unning Media type: ffmpeg on asset users/admin/AVI_to_MPEG-4.avi

why is it trying to run in

ffmpeg" (in directory "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/bin/linux"):

?

The easy way to fix is is to edit this file: /WEB-INF/bin/
commandmap.xml

<commandmap os="LINUX">
<commandbase>./WEB-INF/bin/linux</commandbase>
<exiftoolthumb>./exiftoolthumb.sh</exiftoolthumb>
<asperaupload>./aspera/upload.sh</asperaupload>
<ffmpeg>/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg</ffmpeg>
</commandmap>

Make sure you ffmpefg and possibly <convert> are pointing to valid
executables
