Why mp4 or mp4.ts from identical installation?

* atomicparsley is not present in either of my installations!

Please, I am serious about solving this problem. Do not reply off list. 
I have received some off list replies, clearly indicating poor 
understanding of both mailing list protocol and the amount of effort I 
prepared to invest.

Is the attachment to my original post available to the list members? 
There are important clues in it, and  if not I will summarise it.

I think the .mp4.ts producing install failed as the result of something 
missing, or perhaps a version dependency.

Can I dump the ffmpeg and RTMPDump commands?
