It seems your source file has only a video stream, but no audio stream. ffmpegX wants a file with both video and audio as input when converting to a format with video and audio ("Number of stream maps must match number of output streams").

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue..... It's driving me crazy and I know my video has audio. Here is the "process information" for you to read. I appreciate any help.

what that means?
I download flvtool2... I opened from zip...do I have to place it somewhere?
Another thing...
I got flash 9 because my mac os is 10.3.9... when I try to open the clip that I encoded as a flash , anything happens!!!!!!!!!!! Then I upload the clip to youtube to check out then it played but the quality was bad.
Any tips to solve this problems?
Again,thks a lot for your help!

You should select the ffmpegX application. It has happened for some users, but not others. Therefore I think it depends on the setup somehow, although I have no idea exactly what.Originally Posted by drica
Your file is encoded fine, but it has no meta data yet, so some players won't know the duration and can't give a nice progress bar on playback.Originally Posted by drica
Installation instructions for flvtool2 can be found on this forum and on the website. Use the forum search box (top of page) for additional topics on flvtool2, as some users wanted more detailed instructions in the past.
You don't need the latest version of Flash Player for the type of FLV that ffmpegX encodes (which is H.263/Mp3). Flash 8 would be fine, too.Originally Posted by drica
"Anything" isn't very descriptive; please be detailed in what happens.Originally Posted by drica
Very few players can play FLV files directly. To play an FLV file in QuickTime Player, install Perian first, as it helps QTP understand FLV files (among other useful things).
The default encoding settings in ffmpegX for FLV files are set to produce a very small file, thereby sacrificing quality. To get better quality, use a higher bitrate (which will increase the file size as well).Originally Posted by drica -

When I try to open the clip that I encoded as a flash the flash software opens but there isn't a window to show the clip!
Then I click from the menu,open a file and It doesn't show the clip.
Any thoughts?

What "flash software" is that? I don't have Adobe Flash Studio (I have just the webbrowser plugin), so I wouldn't know how it's workflow is. Maybe an FLV file shouldn't be opened, but imported; just a guess. Besides, Adobe Flash Studio isn't needed.Originally Posted by drica
The webbroser plugin and stand-alone Flash players play .swf files, not .flv files. The 'trick' is to embed an .flv file inside a .swf file, or (even better for the web) use a general .swf file as a player for many .flv files, by linking (not embedding) to .flv files. Such .swf media players only have to be made once, and handle all your .flv files. There are several such players free to download, such as JW FLV media player.
For local playback of .flv files, try QuickTime Player (with Perian), VLC or some of the dedicated FLV players that can be found at the usual software sites (VersionTracker, MacUpdate). -

How can install flvtool2,step by step?

Sorry that I didn't realize that earlier. Panther (10.3) was released in October 2003, and updated until April 2005. It is showing its age by developers abandoning it for software support. Perhaps someone else knows a player for local playback of FLV files on 10.3? Except for the webpage route, that is.Originally Posted by drica
The files in the "flvtool2-1.0.6" folder have to be installed using the Terminal (no easy double-clicking files this time).Originally Posted by drica
The application Terminal will be located in /Applications/Utilities/ .
Launch Terminal. You'll see a so-called Shell window where you can type commands. That is why is it sometimes referred to as the "command line".1. Change the working directory to the "flvtool2-1.0.6" folder, by typing cd and a space character, followed by a drag-and-drop of the folder "flvtool2-1.0.6" from the Finder to the Terminal window. The Terminal will interpret the drag-and-drop action by copying the path to that folder into the command. Press the <return> key to activate the command.Code:Last login: <some date and time> on console Welcome to Darwin! Computer-name:~ username$ <cursor>
2. Type ruby setup.rb config [press <return> key]
3. Type ruby setup.rb setup [press <return> key]
4. Type sudo ruby setup.rb install [press <return> key]
5. The sudo command in the previous step will make the Terminal ask for your user account password.
6. Done; flvtool2 is now installed. -
A free standalone flash player that will work under 10.3 is Wimpy FLV Player. It's not particularly elaborate, but it's functional.

I think I used iSwiff along with Macromedia's (now Adobe's, of course) stand-alone Flash player. The latter, you can find here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
...don't think they have one that supports Flash 10, though, and I don't know how the more recent versions will run under Panther. I'd test, if my iBook wasn't broken. -_-If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -

Yes it did.Originally Posted by drica
The installation of flvtool2 is done. You may delete the folder on your desktop.Originally Posted by drica
I was afraid this would happen, but I wasn't sure it would happen. The thing is, ffmpegX instructs the computer that it wants flvtool2 after creating an FLV file. It does so by using the ruby scripting language. But first ffmpegX is telling the computer where the ruby program is. This ruby is yet another command line program, but this one is provided by Apple with every Mac OS X. Unfortunately, it is not at the same location on all Macs. The good thing is that it can be fixed in ffmpegX, and this location of ruby is not too hard to edit: --Originally Posted by drica
1. Where is ruby?
The author of ffmpegX expected ruby to be located at /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby .
On your system ruby may be located elsewhere.
On my 10.4.11, ruby is located at /usr/bin/ruby .
I don't know where it is on 10.3.x, but try looking in /usr/bin/ first. (The directory usr is a hidden directory, so use the Go menu in the Finder, Go to folder, type /usr/bin, then look if ruby is in there.)
2. Edit ffmpegX to the correct location of ruby.
Select the ffmpegX application in the Finder. Control-click it, then select Show Package Content. A new folder will show the 'insides' of ffmpegX. Open the Contents folder. Open the Resources folder. One of the files in there is "flvtool2". This file is very small and will have just two lines of text. Open the file in TextEdit. Change /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby into the real location of ruby, e.g. /usr/bin/ruby . It should now read something like:Save. Close all folders.Code:#! /usr/bin/ruby require 'flvtool2'
3. Try encoding to FLV once more. The log shouldn't say "bad interpreter: No such file or directory" anymore. -

Good. It is a very important step to know the location of ruby, when another application needs that information.Originally Posted by drica
Well spotted!Originally Posted by drica Now you know what the previous flvtool2 install instructions have created.
Looks good. Please note that the flvtool2 in /usr/bin/ is the binary program that adds meta data, and that the file flvtool2 inside ffmpegX is just an instruction to use the binary. Don't let the same filename confuse you; these files are very different, and only the latter needs a small change.Originally Posted by drica
Yes that is bad.Originally Posted by drica
Let's try to find out if both ruby and flvtool2 are in working condition:
(1) In the Terminal, type (or copy-paste): /usr/bin/ruby --version
It should mention the application version of ruby, without doing anything else.
(2) In the Termimal, type: /usr/bin/flvtool2 -H
It should mention the short Help page, without doing anything else. (What is mentioned there is for using flvtool2 from the command line, without ffmpegX.)
If you get these results, then they both are in working condition.
Now you are confusing me. (1) Is this about the ffmpegX application asking "Where is Progress.app?", or is this different? (2) Progress.app never asked me to choose an application, nor is such a question mention before on this forum. (3) Please be precise when mentioning 'ffmpeg', as both ffmpegX (with 'X') and ffmpeg (without 'X') exist: ffmpeg is a command line binary that is used by ffmpegX.Originally Posted by drica
The first is the folder in Application Support, the second is where ffmpegX stores its preferences, the third is the ffmpegX application itself.Originally Posted by drica
If you get the "Where is Progress.app?" question, locate the ffmpegX appliaction in your /Applcations folder.
If this happens again, open up the Package Contents of ffmpegX, navigate to Contents/Resources/Progress.app and drag that icon to the "Where is Progress.app?" dialog box. I hope that is enough to let it remember it from then on.
P.S. You don't have to include the complete quote each time you reply on the forum. Feel free to cut away portions from the quote that are not essential in your reply. -

HI Case,
I did that but didn't work... When I drag the progress to the window .choose application where is progress app is the file comes back to it original place. It doesn't get into the where is progress .app...window...
That ..............

Get the latest version from http://www.inlet-media.de/flvtool2
This program is published under the BSD license.
Usage: flvtool2 [-ACDPUVaciklnoprstvx]... [-key:value]... in-path|stdin [out-path|stdout]
If out-path is omitted, in-path will be overwritten.
In-path can be a single file, or a directory. If in-path is a directory,
out-path has to be likewise, or can be omitted. Directory recursion
is controlled by the -r switch. You can use stdin and stdout keywords
as in- and out-path for piping or redirecting.
Chain commands like that: -UP (updates FLV file than prints out meta data)
Commands:
-A Adds tags from -t tags-file
-C Cuts file using -i inpoint and -o outpoint
-D Debugs file (writes a lot to stdout)
-H Helpscreen will be shown
-P Prints out meta data to stdout
-U Updates FLV with an onMetaTag event
Switches:
-a Collapse space between cutted regions
-c Compatibility mode calculates some onMetaTag values different
-key:value Key-value-pair for onMetaData tag (overwrites generated values)
-i timestamp Inpoint for cut command in miliseconds
-k Keyframe mode slides onCuePoint(navigation) tags added by the
add command to nearest keyframe position
-l Logs FLV stream reading to stream.log in current directory
-n Number of tag to debug
-o timestamp Outpoint for cut command in miliseconds
-p Preserve mode only updates FLVs that have not been processed
before
-r Recursion for directory processing
-s Simulation mode never writes FLV data to out-path

Thanks Tom , I will try thatOriginally Posted by tomlee59

I'm not 100% sure about 10.3.x, but I've been dropping file icons onto dialog boxes for a very long time (perhaps even OS 7/8/9), when it is easier to select a file in a Finder window that way than browsing through many folders. By the way, the drag-and-drop described here is not a file move, but an action to point the dialog box to a different folder and select a file fast using a designed trick. The file is supposed to stay in its original place. The file listing in the dialog box should change.Originally Posted by drica
The "Where is Progress.app?" message never happened to me on four different computers, so I can't verify this exact situation.
Both ruby and flvtool2 seem to be fine and working. So that is not the problem.Originally Posted by drica
All I can think of, is that the flvtool2 file inside ffmpegX (/Applications/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/flvtool2), is somehow not 100% proper. Please try overwriting that file with my copy (unzip first). [This file is for drica's system. I have not verified it to be useful for other users!]Originally Posted by drica
If anyone else has flvtool2 working with ffmpegX on Mac OS X 10.3.x, please chime in. -
If you're eager to work with adding meta data to your FLV file, then you may do manually in the Terminal what ffmpegX tries to do automatically in the background:
The syntax is: flvtool2 -UP movie.flv
the 'U' command updates the FLV with meta data, the 'P' prints to screen what it has done.
In the Terminal, type /usr/bin/flvtool2 -UP (including a space at the end), then drag-and-drop your FLV file to the Terminal window, so that it fills in the full path to that file. Press [return] to execute. -
Do I really need meta data?Originally Posted by Case
When you said drag and drop flv file you mean the clip that was converted?
I download wimpy and the clip that was converted play but the size of the window seams weird.
I just don't get why this same clip won't play on flash 9?
My question is ... the way it is... no flvtools2 file... the converted clip will play on the browser?
I upload some to youtube and it was ok, so that means will play in any server?
I need to convert 300 plus files/clips...my worry is that after all work done, I find out it was a waste of time.
I am very frustrated!
By the way... You asked to erase the ffmpeg that I download...Now I don't now where to get one!!!!!!!
I went to ffmpeg... there is the new ffmpeg 0.5... opened... click install...
1) Type './configure' to create the configuration. A list of configure
options is printed by running 'configure --help'.
'configure' can be launched from a directory different from the FFmpeg
sources to build the objects out of tree. To do this, use an absolute
path when launching 'configure', e.g. '/ffmpegdir/ffmpeg/configure'.
2) Then type 'make' to build FFmpeg. GNU Make 3.81 or later is required.
3) Type 'make install' to install all binaries and libraries you built.
You know, I am getting very tired about this c... The other ffmpeg I clicked and was done...this one....
I double check that window where is progress is... now it lists progress...
Anyway,Thanks very much for your time and help!

You should be able to resize the window in wimpy. It will choose a default window size based on the pixel dimensions of the clip. You can click on the green window button to fill the screen, or grab a corner and drag to resize to some other dimension.Originally Posted by drica
I don't see where he asked you to erase ffmpeg. Again, be VERY careful, and VERY specific: ffmpegX and ffmpeg are not the same thing. You should not have to touch ffmpeg at all. Is there some reason that you feel the need to recompile ffmpeg? I can't see why you would.
I believe he said that it was ok (not necessary, but ok) to delete the flvtool2 file from the desktop after installation. The install procedure puts the file where it belongs, after which the desktop copy is not necessary. -
No, the FLV file without meta data is a valid movie file. But adding metadata will help FLV players know the duration so they can show things like a progress bar and the number of seconds left to play.Originally Posted by drica
Yes, the output file in FLV format that didn't have metadata yet.Originally Posted by drica
Yes, the media file will play fine.Originally Posted by drica
It would seem so.Originally Posted by drica
Again, the converted FLV file is fine. It just lacks metadata. You may add metadata at a later time, using flvtool2 in the Terminal. (If you read the help file, you'll notice it can even do whole folders at a time (recursion).) But first, start with getting one file right.Originally Posted by drica
No, I did not ask that.Originally Posted by drica -

It was from the desktop. I can not run that again because I don't have any more... I download one from the site ffmpeg but it is weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The install is white and don't install the program.
Anyway,that is ok...
I think I can leave without fvtools2...
Thanks very much for your time and help! God bless you!

I guess it is wrong ,right?
On the terminal flvtools2 shows

The thing is.... since I am doing this job to sell, I think it is need to have flvtool2 working!
Anyway,I hate when a software doesn't work the way it is supposed to!
Thks again! -
Excellent.Originally Posted by drica
Remeber that you downloaded flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz? And that you installed it using the Terminal, which resulted in an flvtool2 binary in /usr/bin/ ? Is that still there?Originally Posted by drica -
Hi case,
I re install flvtools... now I get from info after I encode..
