generating thumbnail w/ffmpeg from flv upload

I am getting the famous broken link icon when I upload movie files (flv) to my site. The video itself will play without nay problems but I get the broken links. I have checked my Thumbnail setup in the admin and everything looks fine. I have copied the error message from the event log below. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I was able to dig up a little more information... In the event log for Gallery I found the information below.

When I go to the referer link I get this error...

I think the problem has to be with my ffmpeg install, even though the <Test Settings> comes out "Passed".

At the bottom of the bottom of the <Test Settings> results it says "/home2/[username]/public_html/ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-version'"

I also noticed my Thumbnail Manager plugin isn't working properly, and the documentation for that says it needs ffmpeg activated for it to work. I know ffmpeg is activated and I have tried deactivating/activating all these plugins to make sure they are all working.

The ffmpeg binary I am using is from my hosting companies website.. http://forum.inmotionhosting.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=420&p=6501&hilit=install+ffmpeg#p6501... Maybe this is an old binary, does someone else have a good Binary that they know works well with Gallery2?

Thanks

OK, I was able to get it to work using one of your builds. Thank you.

My only question now is this...

When I run the <Test Settings> for ffmpeg I still get a "Passed", but I now have a new error that say this...

"Missing required audio codec, encoded videos will not contain sound."

I guess I don't know what that error means, because when I upload videos it works and I have sound. So I'm not sure. At least it works. Thanks for your help.
