One last observation: I think it has something to do with the apache user permissions. I'm running the mod_wsgi daemon process with myself as the user and I need to specify the full path to ffmpeg (/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg). Even when I do that the function runs every other time. So I'm totally confused now. I'm an apache/django beginner so bear with me please!
