Hi all,

I tried to run something like below

<cfexecute name="#ExpandPath('.')#\ffmpeg.exe" arguments=" -i #ExpandPath('.')#\2.avi" outputfile="#ExpandPath('.')#\output.log" />

But nothing happened...Nothing outputs on screen... Nothing in the file... Do you know the reason???

Thanks very much,

There was an issue with cfexecute and ffmpeg where the process would hang.  I believe that was fixed in ColdFusion 8 Updater 1.

The pre-fix alternative for windows is to use two extra arguments:  "/c" and "2>&1"

Example:

<cfexecute
   name="c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"
   arguments='/c  "c:\pathToProgram\ffmpeg.exe" -i "c:\pathTo\yourFile.avi"  2>&1'
   outputfile='"c:\pathTo\output.log"'
   timeout="60" />
