I downloaded the stable build of relliab on ffmpegX download page.
I don't know why, i followed the instructions, put reallibs folder under library/ffmpegX.
However, I failed to test realmedia's encoding. When i choose a real video or drag a real video to 'drop item box', ffmpegX freezes.
I'm a Mac intel user.
I'm so confused.

I don't think that the reallib provided on ffmpegX home page is Intel Mac compatible.
You have to download them on the mplayer main website. Scroll down to the "Binary Codec Package" section and download the package "Mac OS X x86 20060611".
Inside the zip file you'll find the installer that will install the library files in usr/local/lib. Open the installer and proceed with the installation.
Under the finder choose "Go to folder..." in the "Go" menu. Type
and press return. This will open a new window where you will find a "codecs" folder containing the Real binaries. Copy this folder in Library/Application Support/ffmpegX and rename it "reallib" (don't forget the two L). That should make it..

I found this thread and and I have further problems with .
1. I installed the "Binary Codec Package" ("Mac OS X x86 20060611") as said above in the folder /Library/Applicaton Support/ffmpegX/ with the foldername "reallib"
2. Now I can open RealMedia-files (.rm) in ffmpegX
3. I is also possible to encode this file in "AVI DivX" (mencoder) and works fine.
But if I now want to encode the RM-file in h.264 (mencoder), the progress-window shows after one second "finished", but the output isn't ready or readable. I didn't modify anything in ffmpegX - just select the new encoding-kind. And the video is an official dummy from the website mentioned above.
The report bring following message:

Yes. I opend ffmpegX. Draged the "berserkertrailer.rm" at the left side of the "summary". Than I selected in the right side "h.264 mencoder" which shows the window as you can see at the picture some posts above. Now I pressed "coding", the progress-window opened and was reading one sec later and said "finished". At the desktop is a file "berserkertrailer.rm.ff.264" but with 0kb.
The report was again following:

Have you another result in your case? Again: If I just drag the .rm-Video on ffmpegX and press encode with the default encoding-prefs (AVI DivX), then it works...

Using the same preset (h264, mencoder) with the same clip (berserkertrailer) on my Mac Mini gives me a complete .264 *video* file only, but no audio and, for this obvious reason, no .MP4 file.

I will say, that there are a lot of Errors made. But I don't know what they say...
You have said, that your movie wasn't completed, too? Is it a bug?

All errors reported between the two lines of "======" are just messages saying that the DirectShow drivers cannot be found, which is perfectly normal because DirectShow is a Windows API. I assume this a due to the crossplatform nature of mencoder. The program sequentially tries a set of drivers until it finds the correct one, which is reported with :
| Code: |
Opening video decoder: [realvid] RealVideo decoder
Selected video codec: [rv30mac] vfm: realvid (Mac OS X RealPlayer 9 RV30 decoder) |
The only relevant error is :
| Code: |
| sh: line 1: 2520 Segmentation fault |
I assume this refers to an mencoder bug and that there is nothing that can be done until the next version.

Yes it was not completed but not for the same reason. In my case, there is a problem (which one ? I don't know) during the audio conversion (video is fine) that prevents the building of the final .mp4 file.

What is invert mapping? What does it change? My result is now an 3,7MB-file, which isn't really finished. I think it is again just the video. But it doesn't seem so, that h.264-mp4 from an rm-file is codable with ffmpegX.

ffmpegX always expects the tracks to be put in the "regular" way, that is the video first, then the audio. .rm and .wmv files often put them in the reverse order and the purpose of this option is to hint this particularity to ffmpegX.
Don't ask me why ffmpegX doesn't automatically check both orders, I'm not the programmer.

Yes it's seems that, at this time, only .rm to divx .avi is possible through ffmpegX.
You'll have :
1/ either to use a two step encoding process -> first divx .avi, then h264 .mp4
2/ either to use a complex method -> separate video to h264 and audio to aac conversions (encode each track separately while disabling the second one), then use MPEGStreamclip to change the audio .mov to audio .mp4, and finally use mp4box in command line to mux .mp4 audio and .264 video in a new .mp4 file.

I don't think that the reallib provided on ffmpegX home page is Intel Mac compatible.
You have to download them on the mplayer main website. Scroll down to the "Binary Codec Package" section and download the package "Mac OS X x86 20060611".
Inside the zip file you'll find the installer that will install the library files in usr/local/lib. Open the installer and proceed with the installation.
Under the finder choose "Go to folder..." in the "Go" menu. Type
and press return. This will open a new window where you will find a "codecs" folder containing the Real binaries. Copy this folder in Library/Application Support/ffmpegX and rename it "reallib" (don't forget the two L). That should make it.. |
I followed these instructions but it still doesn't play nice with my rmvb files. Library/Application Support/ffmpegX the last folder ffmpegX didn't exist so I had to make it myself and drop the renamed codec folder in it. That was the only part of the install that didn't go as spelled out in your instructions.
Do I have to point the program at the folder or do something similar? Is there a trick to get the program to make the folder that I need to do before I move the renamed codec folder in there?
Thanks for any help in advance.

No.

Well, there has to be a ffmpegX folder because that's where the mplayer and mencoder binaries are located. This ffmpegX folder should be nested in Application Support in the 'general' Library folder, the one located at the root of your disk, not the one in your home directory (actually, although it shouldn't be there, you can check in your home directory if there is a ~/library/application support/ffmpegX folder, just in case).

Mac OS X has 3 Library folders (more for multiple users):
Macintosh HD/System/Library/ (Only OS stuff. In general, users should stay out of there.)
Macintosh HD/Library/ (For all users, collective stuff if you will. ffmpegX wants stuff in here. You need to log in as Admin for this.)
Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/ (For the logged-in user only. This Lib will be visible when you click the Home symbol. ffmpegX doesn't want the support binaries in here.)
Maybe you had the user-Library and the All-users-Library mixed up?
