Video processing issues

Ok i have read and read and read some more on here about getting my videos to work correctly...  I know my cron jobs are setup correctly..  I actually have successfully process a small 3 second video.  But when I try to process a 3 minute video of the same format created by the same program it just gets stuck in processing... I did get an email from cron earlier stating an issue:

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in <b>/home/kaputski/public_html/plugins/moovrelocator/lib/Moovrelocator.class.php</b> on line <b>279</b><br />

So of course I read, and I increased my memory_limit to 256M, from 128M... and tried again.. no errors this time but the video has been processing for over 2 hours..

Another note:  No matter what I did with the cron.php file in the periodic folder it would never work! I tried to manually run cron as suggested in other posts, and all it did was redirect me and said "profile not found"?... So i knew i had a redirect issue.. I tried renaming .htaccess, i even tried deleting it.. nothing worked...  The solution i found to work was i created a new folder in root "sample" and put just the cron.php in there.. and i put a php code in the top to stop caching of that file.. because i noticed when i ran it once it worked ok, but anytime after that it wouldn't run.. so now that I killed the caching on that page it works good and it processes the smaller video.. not sure why the 3 min vid won't work

In 'Modules/Flash Apps/Video Player', check to make sure you've set the max video record time larger than the default of 60 seconds.  It has a hard upper limit of 600, and I'm hitting that issue right now.

I found the query where it checks if the file is converted, and it seems to delete the file or some crap.  I have to look at it further, but I would try that first.

Dolphin video is my nemesis - right after Dolphin gender, age, Ads, forum, and mroe to come I"m sure.

i had also problems with video processing. Uploaded videos protcessed sometimes days and days, then i uncheck h264 codec in video settings and my 100mb video protsessing time is 15-20min or less.

But i have problem with max uploaded file, if i try upload more than 100mb video file, then it upload to end but i see only red box and no protcessing video and my server info show that i can upload up to 500mb. why is that

just a stab at this,

increase the max_execution_time in your php.ini

these are my setting on test server..

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 3000     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 3000 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
;max_input_nesting_level = 64 ; Maximum input variable nesting level
memory_limit = 1024M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (256MB)

THANKSSSSSSSSSSS that did the trick... dunno if i'll run into your problem with the bigger problems or not.. but thanks alot!

Thanks Kuic,

I finally deselected the "Use H264 Codec" and now videos process quickly, 70MB video used to take 30-40 minutes.

Now can process videos so far upwards of 200MB and in only 4 minutes to encode, less than two minutes to do a 70MB video.
