ffmpeg coverting mov to mp4 gives no output

Question

I have the following code:

    var ffmpeg = require('fluent-ffmpeg');
        var proc = new ffmpeg({source: media.file.path, nolog: false})
            .withVideoCodec('libx264')
            .withVideoBitrate(800)
            .withAudioCodec('libvo_aacenc')
            .withAudioBitrate('128k')
            .withAudioChannels(2)
            .toFormat('mp4')
            .saveToFile(media.targetDir + media.getName() + '.' + '.mp4',
            function (retcode, error) {
                console.log('file has been converted succesfully');
            });
    fs.chmodSync(media.targetDir, '755');

This should (hopefully) convert an mov file to an mp4 file. However that is not the case. Instead it goes through the code without printing any error nor other console messages and just continue?

So my question is what have I done wrong?

I know it's not alot to go for but I'll be ready to answer any question you might have!

Here is a picture of the proc variable after the code has been executed:

Output of command

I ran the following command:

ffmpeg -i trim.F4A79C58-1141-412E-A713-2CF893F44055.MOV -c:v libx264 -vb 800k -c:a libfdk_aacenc -ab 128k -ac 2 test.mp4

And got the following output:

Looks like your input file is broken. Are you able to play it back? — aergistal, Nov 05 '15 at 14:20
@aergistal Hang on il try with another file and post the output — Marc Rasmussen, Nov 05 '15 at 14:23
Sorry for that but there is a typo in the command I told you to try. It's `ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:v libx264 -vb 800k -c:a libvo_aacenc -ab 128k -ac 2 test.mp4`. I was thinking of another lib. — aergistal, Nov 05 '15 at 14:31
The last one seems to be transcoded without issues. Still not working from node? — aergistal, Nov 05 '15 at 14:57

Orig "savetofile" syntax has errors. 2 dots prior to ftype. No path seperator tween dir and last node in the filName — Robert Rowntree, Nov 15 '15 at 07:57
