  1. Hi, I do not get any conversion working with 0.0.9y, trying rmvb files I get the process completed immediately but no file is encoded. I believe the instalation is good, including reallib (the file can be played OK from within ffmepgx). The log says:

    /bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
    /bin/sh: -c: line 0: `printf "Encoding started on " && date && '/Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/mencoder' /Users/XXXXX/Desktop/YYYYY\(2010\)/YYYYY\ \(2010\).rmvb -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128:vol=0 -srate 48000 -aid 0 -ovc lavc -sws 0 -lavcopts threads=2:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=940:keyint=240:vqm in=2:vqmax=9 -ofps NTSC FILM (29.97) -vop scale=640:272 -noodml -ffourcc DIVX -o /Users/XXXXX/Desktop/YYYYY\(2010\)/YYYYY\ \(2010\).rmvb.ff.avi && printf "Encoding completed on " && date && printf "\a"'

    Have not found any useful information, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks,

    Please check your framerate setting.
    The command line that ffmpegX uses, based on your settings, includes "-ofps NTSC FILM (29.97)".
    There is no such thing as NTSC FILM (29.97). NTSC FILM (23.976) or NTSC (29.97) would be valid.

  3. as simple as that.... thank you Case, it works all right with NTSC FILM (23.976). My bets were on the syntax error and semicolon symbols. Appreciate the help.

    There is a syntax error near a parenthesis symbol, as “NTSC FILM (29.97)” is invalid. The command line should not have both a name and a number for -ofps, but just a number (or division).

    By selecting the framerate preset of "NTSC FILM (23.976)" in ffmpegX, ffmpegX should create a command line with just the number "23.976" for -ofps (output frames per second).
