If you want to encode from RealVideo sources with the mencoder engine, you should also install the reallibs package for ffmpegX 0.0.9.

Real media only works with the mencoder engine in ffmpegX, so select a mencoder preset in the Target window.

And although this is probably not be a problem in your case, it is always a good idea to remove spaces from your pathname when using ffmpegx. Adopting this habit avoids many hassles.

I've gotten to the FIRST screen and can't get further. I've downloaded and located the files, and then clicked install, but it comes up with this:


##/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file


What am I doing wrong?
