Video Failed to transcode with FFmpeg with Rails app in my localhost - ruby-on-rails

Question

I ve tried to upload videos using Carrierwave-video & FFmpeg. I've installed FFmpeg and there is no problem with installation. I have made configurations from ' http://blog.41studio.com/upload-videos-using-carrierwave-ffmpeg/ ' .But when I tried to upload video (.mov file), I have an error.
Error

Answer 1

I had the same error. In my case it was because of carrierwave-video is incompatible with streamio-ffmpeg (3.0.2). streamio-ffmpeg expects to receive array of format_params, but carrierwave-video returns a string. I fixed it in my fork
