I'm running ffmpegX on Snow Leopard and it run absolutely fine. The only problems I am having which I need help with, is that when I open the application it never finds the mpeg2enc and I have to locate it manually. If anyone knows a fix for this it would really help.

The second issue is with FLVTool2. I tried to use the terminal and followed the instructions to the letter and here is the result.

Open terminal.app
Type cd [drop the folder here] [press return key] no problem
Type ruby setup.rb config [press return key] -ruby: No such file or directory -- setup.rb (LoadError)
Type ruby setup.rb setup [press return key] also load error
Type sudo ruby setup.rb install [will require that you enter your login password] [press return key]

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

Did you put a space character after "cd "?
Did you drop the folder "flvtool2-1.0.6" onto the Terminal window?
Do you have ruby installed as part of the BSD subsystem? Type "ruby --version" in the Terminal to verify.
Do you see a file "setup.rb" in the folder "flvtool2-1.0.6"?

I did see the file set-up was I supposed to click on that?

I would say I don't have ruby installed in the BSD subsystem as I do not know what that is or how to do it. Any help would be great.
Thanks

No, don't click it. The Terminal commands will use it; the file just has to be there.

Ruby is a Unix command line scripting language. ffmpegX uses ruby to instruct flvtool2 what to do. Ruby is also used to install flvtool2. Under Mac OS 10.3/10.4/10.5, ruby is part of a standard install of the OS. Not sure about 10.6, as I don't run that yet.
If you enter in the Terminal
Code:
ruby --version
then it should return the version number (and a date) of the installed ruby. If there is no ruby, this should return an error message saying that there is no ruby. Please test this first.

Try this zipped copy of mpeg2enc. Unzip before locating it in ffmpegX. It worked for some users that had trouble with the official direct download.

I typed in the command you suggested and received this:
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0]

The zipped copy of mpeg2enc. Worked like a charm. Now if we can get the FLVTool2 working we are home free.

Once the set-up is complete am I able to convert a video to a transparent flash video?

By the way, your knowledge is fantastic.

Then ruby is installed on your system.
The problem has to be in the details of how you entered the commands when trying to install flvtool2.

Type ruby setup.rb config [press return key]
Type ruby setup.rb setup [press return key]
Type sudo ruby setup.rb install [will require that you enter your login password] [press return key]

Could you let me have a look at the content from the Terminal window, after trying? Can you copy that here?

[Process completed]

As far as I know, the Terminal is case-sensitive, which makes "cd" a valid command for changing the working directory, but it makes "CD" an unknown command. Typo?

... [Process completed] ... [Process completed] ... [Process completed] ...
The many occurrences of "[Process completed]" signifies a logout after each command, which is not how these commands are intended. It explains the "No such file or directory" errors as if the previous command was 'forgotten', or like not in the same shell.

When referring to 'Terminal', the Terminal shell window is meant, as that is the only interface upto 10.5. So, yes, it sounds logical to me, ... but where do you find such a checkbox? I can't find it on my system... Is that a 10.6 thing? Now we're getting somewhere smile.gif

I did not use the CD but rather the cd and the first step always works.

Are you saying that after I type in the command, that the little box that opens is supposed to not be closed? and then I should enter the next line in a new command line , then leave that one opened, and so on?

Lastly, on 10.6 Leopard there is that little box to check.

I think I am getting somewhere now. When they ask me for my password, is it the password I use to log in to my computer, or is it a FFMPEGX specific password?

I think I may have it. How do I test to know that it is correct?

I think I figured it out. Nothing drastic changed with 10.6.
Type the commands in the main window, not in the Run Command window after selecting File > New Command.

I figured that out based on your previous message. Now I just need to know how I test to make sure I did it correctly?

Then one last thing if you know. How do I use this software to convert to a transparent flash video.

You are so fantastic. This forum needs to give you super start status because that is what you are.
