I have a problem with processing videos, I will try to describe it. Version 14RC1 and 13.1 stable, same problem
I first uploaded a 1 MB video, which went through relatively smoothly. Only the page with the video took a while to load, but the rest of the website responded normally. Then I uploaded a 30 MB video, and while the website was still responsive, things started to get interesting. On the server, tasks for converting (ffmpeg) the same video kept piling up, which heavily burdened it. There are only two video quality options, yet these tasks are being triggered from the website. I absolutely don’t understand this, given that there is a cron job. The cron job could trigger them directly as a process. I see no reason why the video conversion application should block the PHP process dedicated to the web server.

In addition, these ffmpeg tasks download the video again through the webserver. The file should be loaded directly from the disk correctly?
What is causing this behavior?
So finally the mystery solved..it's an outdated version of ffmpeg..I tried different versions and 7.0.2 works absolutely without problems in UNA 14RC1 ..I'm attaching it for download
Don't forget to set the ffmpeg attributes to 755 again after the change!

I had the same problem and solution a while back, I could have helped but it's my first day back on after my holiday
