Moving you to our ffmpegx section.

Does it happen with all your video files?

[Case]

After trying to encode a file, click the blue "i" in the ffmpegX Progress window. This will bring up a new window with the Process Information. It is like a log of what ffmpegX was trying to do. It will also contain any error messages, if an error happened. Please post that information here for examination.

My System:

Apple Mac Pro Intel
OSX 10.5.8

[Case]

Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo
Stream #0.1(eng), 24.00 fps(r): Video: qtrle, rgb24, 1910x917
Codec type mismatch for mapping #0.0 -> #0.0

The audio stream is listed before the video stream in your file. If ffmpeg isn't told about that, it expects it the other way around (video before audio).
Set the "Invert mapping" checkbox in the Audio tab. Now you won't get a "Codec type mismatch for mapping"-error for this file anymore.

Unless you are an expert or a glutton for punishment, I suggest you try MPEG Streamclip instead. It is much more usable.
