Need help in alfresco content transformation of avi and wmv to flv

Question

I am transforming avi and wmv to flv format so that I can alfresco preview

Here is the steps I followed

1. Installed ffmpeg 64 bit static build on my windows machine
2. Remove .sample extension of video-thumbnail-context.xml.sample and video-transformation-context.xml.sample
3. Copied the properties mentioned in the two files to alfresco global properties (do I need to specify the path of ffmpeg in global properties?)
4. Created transform and copy rule for a folder and pointed to new folder

But I am getting error when uploading (Failure: Transformer for 'video/x-ms-wmv' source mime type and 'video/x-msvideo' target mime type was not found. Operation can't be performed)

Answer 1

Have you tried using the following addon? Which does basically everything for you.

The code is public via Googlecode (maybe also in the share-extras git).

What I've read is that you need to add the ffmpeg location, like:

ffmpeg.exe=C:/FFmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe
