FLVtool2 doesn't install correctly

[chaosmoon]

I followed the 3 step manual and have searched the subject here in the forum.

When encoding i get the following response from FFMPEG:

/bin/sh: /Applications/_dvd/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/flvtool2: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

The directory doen't exist indeed. I've restarted and installed under original Admin account, but no luck.

any sugestions?

FLVtool2 may be correctly installed. The error states that script interpreter 'ruby' isn't at the location where ffmpegX says it is. This seems to be a bug, as the wrong path is given. If you don't mind opening the application package and a text editor, you can fix it:

Not sure if it is 10.4.x or what, but it seems to happen to some users, not all.

Thanks Case, it worked like a charm. For any searches that end up here, text-edit or Xcode also work fine.

/Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/flvtool2

points to:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby

Change this to:

/usr/bin/ruby

(right click ffmpegX.app and "show Package contents" to browse within)

Ahh! I can't even get my terminal to recognize the FLVTool2 folder no matter where I move it, name it, hide it, Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

Welcome to Darwin!
cpe-24-243-49-171:~ Me$ cg/Users/Me/Desktop/FLVTool2-1.0.6/
-bash: cg/Users/Me/Desktop/FLVTool2-1.0.6/: No such file or directory

Ahhhh!

$ cg/Users/Me/Desktop/FLVTool2-1.0.6/

Try
cd (for change directory),
followed by a space character (to separate the command from the parameters),
followed by /Users/Me/Desktop/FLVTool2-1.0.6/ (i.e. drag-and-drop the folder),
followed by <enter>

Thank you Case!
The cg was a typo in the paste - but I was able to install the FLVTool2 per your instructions (gee! a simple space character!), I edited the path in BBEdit, and Voila! The Metadata works perfectly!
Thanks again!
