The message you’re getting from FFMPEG is that it’s running out of RAM. I assume you don’t have less RAM on your new server but it seems like libx264 is somehow not getting access to enough RAM. Can you post the FFMPEG command that’s above the FFMPEG Test Output? * You shouldn’t need mp4box if you have a modern (since late 2012) version of FFMPEG like you’re working with. You can switch the “Method to fix encoded H.264 headers for streaming” setting to “movflags faststart” * Thread Starter [Metal_13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metal_13/) * (@metal_13) * [4

I use version 4 on my own server. If you had a version that was working on your old server, try that, but I can’t stress enough that I don’t know what’s going on. * Thread Starter [Metal_13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metal_13/) * (@metal_13) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-fail-ffmpeg-4x/#post-15334836) * ill try other versions. sorry about this and thanks for the help * Thread Starter [Metal_13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metal_13/) * (@metal_13) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-fail-ffmpeg-4x/#post-15337315) * incase someone else gets this issue. it was “Litespeed” limiting the memory. just increase the memory “**soft limit and hard limit**” from the litespeed admin console Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘Conversion fail – ffmpeg 4x’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/assets/icon.svg?rev=2965979) * [Videopack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/reviews/) * 13 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Metal_13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metal_13/) * Last activity: [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-fail-ffmpeg-4x/#post-15337315) * Status: not resolved
