Encoding matroska file to AVC level 3

[flash74]

I have a matroska file that I want to re-encode to Mp4 H.264 AVC level 3 (so that my Kiss 1600 will play it hopefully).
I installed FFmpegx v0.0.9y but then after hitting the encode button it finishes almost immediately.

Any help?

source: Matroska h264, yuv420p, 1280x720
ac3, 48000 hz 5.1

target:
mp4 H.264 x264 h264 1280x720 940kbps 0,08 fps no crop
aac 48000hz 128 kbps

This is the process information:

[Case]

encode to Mp4 H.264 AVC level 3

For 1280x720, you need at least AVC Level 3.1. Level 3.0 doesn't support that resolution.

target:
mp4 H.264 x264 h264 1280x720 940kbps 0,08 fps no crop
aac 48000hz 128 kbps

Framerate issue (0.08 fps): the target framerate should be NTSC Film (23.976 fps), NTSC (29.97 fps) or PAL (25 fps). I would go with NTSC Film, as 720p usually is NTSC Film. 0.08 fps is one frame per 12.5 seconds! I guess the automatic framerate detection didn't work for this MKV.

/Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/movtoy4m can't open library: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LiveType.framework/Versions/A/LiveType (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Weird that it tries to access LiveType...

Weird that it tries to access DivX's Lame MP3 library...

If you had Decode with QuickTime activated, try it without.
If you had Decode with QuickTime de-activated, try it activated, but be sure to have Perian installed for QuickTime's MKV support.
