I converted all of my movies in gallery 2 to .mp4 and then used the G2Import module to move everything to my new G3 install. The albums, photos, and users imported without issue, but all of my .mp4 files were skipped. I have ffmpeg enabled in the movies module and I also installed movie_tools as well. The documentation for G2Import states that .mp4 is a valid format, so I am not sure why they were skipped. I've been wanting to move to gallery3 for years now, but this movie issue always puts an end to it. I finally took the time to convert everything to an accepted format and it is frustrating that it still did not work. Any thoughts?

Kadina: Did you get this resolved? I have had a similar problem with the .mp4 files. It makes me wonder whether I have a setting wrong in my import tool. I'm hoping Dave has a good solution or that you can give me a bit of guidance.

Gary: No, I have not yet resolved this. I am hoping that floridave comes back with some insight!
