</div>Try using some of the debug or verbose options.<br>
<br>
Directly after that line is where it starts the ffmpeg process. If you<br>
enable debug (-debug) it will show you the commandline that it will<br>
use to run ffmpeg before it runs it. This is especially helpful for<br>
spotting problems with the command.<br>
<br>
If you enable verbose logging (-verbose) it will show you the output<br>
of ffmpeg directly. If you don't use that, it will try to parse the<br>
ffmpeg output to give you a percentage. For testing you'll definitely<br>
want to put -verbose on to see what ffmpeg is doing. There's a good<br>
chance if ffmpeg is spitting out an error, it's being eaten up in that<br>
section.<br>
