Ok so i recently discovered why my video uploads is not working while my Dreamhost VPS does have ffmpeg support it is version 0.7. I contacted dreamhost support and they told me i had to update it myself which i did but after the update it was still ver 0.7 so i contacted support again and foolishly they told me well 0.7 is the latest ver and it was made on may of this year (This was really funny since i directed them to the ffmpeg site where it clearly states that 2.4 is the latest ) I can only assume that there is some problem with their reposatory or something so now im at a loss the whole point to getting a vps was so i could use the video uploads. so I am posting this here in the hope that someone else has a dream host vps and has figured out a way to get the ffmpeg updated or video uploads working. So please fellow jomsocialers if anyone can help with this issue please do so.

in addition if you know of a hosting service provider that is a good fit for the use of jomsocial with videos enabled please let me know . I looked at site ground and you cant get it without going dedicated and the cheapest is $215 a mo and cloudaccess.net uses ver0.6.5 of ffmpeg which won't even work so im not sure why it is or what feature they provide that jomsocial recommends them but neither will work for me. also i would like to to get a host that offers a large amount of space and bandwidth thanks!
