Error when converting to MOV, MP4, h.264

[marcoscabral]

Hi,

I just installed ffmpegX v0.0.9y Jan 26, 2008 on my iMac Intel. I'm running MAC OSX 10.5.7.

I installed all the binaries like mped2enc, mencoder, mplayer.

When I tried to convert a VOB file to MOV, MP4 or h.264, I'm getting errors like the ones below.

I just converted VOB to DIVX (AVI) without any problems.

Please help me fix this.

Thanks in advance!

[Case]

The VTS_0x_0.VOB is a special VOB file, in that it holds menu stuff and such for that title set, which may not convert as straight forward as other VOB files. Try to convert the VTS_0x_1.VOB to verify if this issue is causing the error.
