Re: [Props-general] Error trying to upload video files

[Derrick M. <der...@ax...>]

The warning which stands out to the most to me is this line: *exec() has
been disabled for security reasons .  *PROPS calls the command-line FFMPEG
utility to retrieve information about the video file you uploaded.
*

Check your server config and see if there is a way to enable the PHP exec()
function.  It's probably in the master php.ini file for the server.

IIRC, PHP now has native FFMPEG support so you no longer need to call it
via the command line.  PROPS should probably be updated to use the native
support.
