Hi to all.
I'm havin an issue with the flvs i've been producing with ffmpeg.
I convert quicktime seq to flv. It looks great.
Yet once online, i am incapable of skipping forward or fast forwarding the playback.
I even have this issue using vlc player or other flv players directly from my hard drive.
Is there something i could be doing wrong in ffmpeg. Am i maybe missing some metadata array?
Or is it some kind of code problem.
As an example, you can check out: http://www.paroles-et-memoires.org/dec07/video_P_1.htm
thanks in advance for your help

2/ At least some people have found FLVTool2 to be not working because of a path error (for scripting language Ruby) in the code. You should look at the Process Information log (blue "i" button in the Progress window) to see if this applies to you, by looking for something likeCode:/bin/sh: /Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/flvtool2: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Thanks Case.
I've been trying to install flvtool2 and this is what i get in terminal...
powerbook-g4-15-de-tee-dufour:~ tee$ /Users/tee/Desktop/flvtool2-1 ruby setup.rb config
-bash: /Users/tee/Desktop/flvtool2-1: is a directory
powerbook-g4-15-de-tee-dufour:~ tee$ ruby setup.rb setup
ruby: No such file or directory -- setup.rb (LoadError)
powerbook-g4-15-de-tee-dufour:~ tee$ sudo ruby setup.rb install
ruby: No such file or directory -- setup.rb (LoadError)
powerbook-g4-15-de-tee-dufour:~ tee$
I am not very familiar with these kind of things... Am just trying to deliver flvs that clients can have "time control" over...
thanks for your time.

Ok, lets go over the steps to install flvtool2 with some more detail:
1/ Download flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz
2/ Decompress the file, by double-clicking the .tgz file. Now you should have a folder called flvtool2-1.0.6 on your Desktop.
3/ Open Terminal.app
4/ Type "cd " (including the space, without the quotes), then drop the folder "flvtool2-1.0.6" onto the terminal shell window. Hit <Enter> to change to the new working directory (cd is a command for change directory). It should now read "Computer-name:~/Desktop/flvtool2-1.0.6 username$ ".
5/ Type "ruby setup.rb config" (without the quotes). Hit <Enter> to execute that command (let Ruby do a config on the setup.rb file).
6/ Type "ruby setup.rb setup" (without the quotes). Hit <Enter> to execute that command (let Ruby do a setup on the setup.rb file).
7/ Type "sudo ruby setup.rb install" (without the quotes). Hit <Enter> to execute that command (let Ruby do an install on the setup.rb file, with admin permissions so it can access the needed directory for installation).
8/ The "sudo" (superuser do) from the previous step will prompt you to enter your admin account login password.

Case, Thanks again for your time.
i was able to install the flvtool2 (wasn't paying attention to the "spaces".
and ran a ffmpeg test flv.
Seems to me reading the progress report that metadata info has been created, but my issue now is that the progression bar stops progressing at 1mn20secs wheras the movie goes on for more than 3min. The playback is fine, but time control after that 1min20 is not possible or at least hasardous given the fact that the cursor is stuck on the right of the timeline.
any ideas.
tee.

sorry me again. If it can help, here's the prosgress info from the test:
and another issue that may help. When playing via vlc, if i try to fast forward i get the error message : "ffmpeg: Seeking too far : EOF?"

2. In the command line, replace 'movie.flv' with the full path (or just drop the file onto the window, to let Mac OS fill in the path).

This is an old post but in case anyone stumbles across now,... Usually seeking and fast forward failures, at least on a player directly from hard drive are caused by incorrect Metadata of Timecodes. Almost all the hundreds I download have this problem so I wrote a Windows program to fix that works on almost all the run of the mill FLV's that I download. I posted it at https://files.secureserver.net/0shnbBAMoffC1h . Its the beta version because I removed the older version so The explaination is pretty similar but it no longer launches a Dos window but incorporates it into the program. It always makes a copy so it always leaves original intact. It is ONLY designed to fix this Metadata, seek, fast forward, not play, etc. problem and will NOT fix an actual corrupted file. If your video plays ok but will not fast forward, give it a try.
Thanks
