Video files uploaded to labs Commons wiki show various transcode errors: Streamable WebM error: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Wannaworktogether.ogv Streamable Ogg and WebM errors: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:Acta_webm.webm Low bandwidth and streamable errors for all transcoding: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/File:2_big.ogg
Looks like these are not all the same error: 2_big.ogg causes ffmpeg2theora to fail in 2 pass mode, ogginfo also reports errors on this file so could be because of that. Filed a bug with ffmpeg2theora to track this issue at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ffmpeg2theora/+bug/978832 The other errors where caused by a configuration error, $wgMaxShellTime was limited to 50 seconds cpu time. This has a higher value now and the failed transcodes have been reset.
