 * Hi, i’ve configured the plugin into my wordpress site.
 * After uploading file, i can generate thumbs but when i encode i get this message:
 * > can’t open movie file.
   >  libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. [http://www.xxxxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/La-Pubert-chez-les-filles-et-les-garons360P.webm](http://www.xxxxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/La-Pubert-chez-les-filles-et-les-garons360P.webm):

 * Do you get the same I/O error in the FFMPEG test output at the bottom of the 
   FFMPEG Settings tab in the plugin settings page?

 * I managed to solve this. now i have another problem. When i check watermak i 
   get this error:
 * `Unrecognized option 'filter_complex'`
 * I use a centos 6 x64 version with latest version of ffmpeg.

 * How did you solve the I/O error? It could be useful information for other users.
 * In order to enable filter_complex I think you have to compile FFMPEG with the`
   enable-filters` flag.

 * Actually, I might be wrong about that. Can you post your FFMPEG test output?

 * Your version of FFMPEG is from 2010. I’d start by upgrading to a more recent 
   version. I don’t think the filter_complex option was available back then.

 * Hmm. Not sure what ‘partitions’ is. Is it in the filename of the watermark? Can
   you also post the sample encode command from the window above the ffmpeg output?
