[phusion-passenger] Video upload with ffmpeg

[kip]

I am attempting to add video upload functionality to my project. It
looks like there is a small issue with ffmpeg. Here is the
transcoding method I am using:

def transcode
begin
RVideo::Transcoder.logger = logger
file = RVideo::Inspector.new(:file => self.asset.path)
command = "ffmpeg -i $input_file$ -y -s $resolution$ -ar 44100 -
b 64k -r 15 -sameq $output_file$"
options = {
:input_file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/#{self.asset.path}",
:output_file => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/#{self.flash_path}",
:resolution => "320x200"
}
.
.
.

In the production log it shows this:
ffmpeg could not be found (expected ffmpeg to be found in the Unix
path)

I ran "which ffmpeg" and it returned /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
