Sorry, resolved ${ffmpeg.exe}: bad substitution error. However, still seeing a 
black screen when playing video.

the media preview can play .flv file but it seems that it has an issue of 
playing .mp4 file. Did I miss any steps in configuration?

Hi, it may be that the MP4 files do not play because the Flash player does not 
support the settings that they were encoded with. Do you get the thumbnail 
images?

Are you able to post the MP4 files to a public location for me to test them 
against my local install?

Alternatively you could try editing the file metadata to change the mimetype to 
another video type (e.g. Flash Video). This should force the player to generate 
a fresh rendition of the MP4 file using ffmpeg.
