I have a ffmpeg command which works fine from the command line, but doesn’t work when invoked via org.alfresco.util.exec.RuntimeExec when declared in a transformation context file.&nbsp; I receive a “cannot run program” error message in the debug log and a exit code equal 1.&nbsp; The checkCommand step runs successfully with an exit code equal zero.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Environment: Windows XP, 3.3g</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I tried redirecting stderror output per suggestion of a previous post, but no luck.&nbsp; I’ve tried using the ffmpeg.exe included with Alfresco and I also downloaded a more recent version.&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Has anyone successfully integrated ffmpeg using RuntimeExec?&nbsp;&nbsp;
