Hi,
I need to create AVI XviD from a video produced by iMovie. I have exported from iMovie a couple of different ways (MP4 and .mov) and the same thing happens. The picture is perfect, just no sound. As an example I'll include the details from the MP4:
filename: test2.mp4
Source format (identified in the drop zone): From MP4
Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 640x480
Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, stereo
Target: To AVI XviD
Video: mencoder svid, 640x480, 940 kbps, 29.97fps, no crop
Audio: mp3, 4800 Hz, 128 kbps
To note, in the audio tab, thse are the settings:
Codec: .MP3 (encode audio is ticked)
Audio parameters
Audio bitrate: 128
Sampling 48000 Hz (changing it to 44100 does not change things)
Channels: Stereo
Mode: CBR
Audio track: 0
Invert mapping OFF (changing it to ON does not change things)
Audio Gain +0
Add audio.. (blank)
When I encode, this is the start of the output (asterisks mine):
If I change audio track to 1, it gives the error about being unable to find (2). Change it to 2, it says it can't find (3), and so on.Code:Encoding started on Wed Jan 6 10:00:47 EST 2010 MEncoder dev-CVS-060307-04:23-4.0.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team Mac OSX static build for ffmpegX FIXME:Hardenabling SSE and SSE2 without detection CPU: Intel (Family: 6, Stepping: 8) CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 success: format: 0 data: 0x0 - 0x7f6843 ISO: File Type Major Brand: ISO/IEC 14496-1 (MPEG-4 system) v2 Quicktime/MOV file format detected.

iMovie seems to only allow me to save audio as aac. But ffmpegX converts a completely differently-sourced MP4 with aac audio fine (MP4, video h264, yuv420p, 320x240, aac, 48000 Hz, stereo)
This makes me think something weird is going on with iMovie's output. I can't think of what else to try.

Reading that thread carefully, it indeed seems to be the problem you describe here. I would consider it a bug, too. Thank you for confirming that it was to do with the iMovie export.
I am needing to convert files for a very specific limited-time purpose and should only need a week or two's worth of use (for now) so I have just tried the DivX 7 Converter, which gives a 15 day free trial. The output of that program seems to play very happily on the particular fussy piece of equipment I'm doing this all for!
I am a little hesitant to learn to use the command line for ffmpegX right now in case I miss something else important (and I don't have a lot of time for this project). I'll try the command line options if I need to come back to it. Overall, it seems a very neat program, so I'll very likely be back! Thanks again.
