Encoding does not progress/show progress

[protect-ya-neck]

I'm trying to encode an .avi file to SVCD and have all the settings set up right (or at least I think I do). But after I hit encode, I get the zebra striped blue and white bar and it stays there infinitley. It produces the folder with the blah.ff.avi title, but it only contains a 0KB stream.yuv file. Another user posted this same problem but thiers seemed to stay at the same bar and still manage to encode. Mine remains as a 0KB file. When I just encode to a regular avi and not SVCD, the solid blue progress bar with a percent value shows up immedaitley, while with an SVCD this doesn't happen. Does anyone know what the problem may possibly be?

Thank you in advance.

The .yuv item is not a file, but a pipe and it must keep 0Kb. You should check whether a .mpv file is created, that is the actual result of the encoding, and if it grows in size with time then everything is fine despite progress being not determined.

I've read other posts where people had similar problems but the .mpv file was created. In my case it's not. The .yuv is the only file in the folder and remains to be regardless of how long I let the program remain encoding.

Could you please try to enable the "Open in terminal window" option, encode again, and copy/paste to major4@mac.com the complete terminal output.
