Hi there,
im doing my first tutorial with TOPs/OpenGL and i've encountered a problem with the ffmpeg encode video node. Im receiving an error message like that
Work item 'ffmpegencodevideo1_348' lists file 'D:/Proprio/Documents/HoudiniProjects/Rigid_II/video/pdg_name.mp4' as an expected output file, but it wasn't found when the item cooked
I've tried many ways to fix it by changing my directory/ output file path. I've looked other formus post and tried to fix it but nothing seems to work.
Is there something that im missing here?
FFmpeg problem, doesn't find the cooked item.

Your images are on D:, is ffmpeg on C:?
There's a known issue where ffmpeg can't be on a different drive to where the framelist file is. You could try forcing the framelist file to be written to c:/temp/something.
Yes my images are on my D: and my FFmpeg is on my C: You say forcing the Framelist File to be written elsewhere you mean just changing the Frame List File location? I tried to change it but it didn't work again.
Maybe by using Python or something can force it to be written elsewhere can work i imagine?

Hello
i've encountered this kind of problem with ffmpeg in pdg
it's not because ffmpeg is on a different drive
it's because the pdg temp file are on a different drive
if you set in your scheduler the temp directory to be the working directory it fixed the problem in my case...
maybe it's the same issue
also i put the file text in the pdg temp :

I had the same problem with ffmpeg. The Frame List needed to be in my working directory. That fixed it for me
I've seen lots of people complaining about that and I've never had that kind of problem (although I have another, haha).
Yesterday I "installed" ffmpeg on windows by their site and I started to have the same problem as described on this topic's title.
So (at least for me), a working (and better) solution is installing ffmpeg through the image magick's instalation, since It does have the option to install both, and I believe it doesn't have the need to have the frame list in the same working directory as the ffmpeg.
