G’day guys

I wondering if the ffmpeg command line can handle quicktime reference movies?

ffmpegX seems to handle it quite well , but i can seem to get the command line to run.

./Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -f dv -i /Users/pig/Sites/Plush/php_test01/Download_Process/piss.mov -map 0.0:0.0 -y -threads 2 -f mp4 -vcodec xvid -aspect 4:3 -b 682 -s 400x304 -r pal -g 240 -me epzs -qmin 2 -qmax 9 -hq -acodec aac -ab 96 -ar 48000 -ac 2 /Users/pig/Sites/Plush/php_test01/Download_Process/piss1.mp4

This is the code i'm using. All movies in referenced are in DV PAL.

and returns...
<SNIP>

AC EOB marker is absent pos=66
AC EOB marker is absent pos=64
[xvid @ 0x4199e0]XviD: Color spaces other than 420p not supported

In another post it was said that ffmpeg has problems with some mov and DV files...

One thing i have noticed that when i drag the reference movie onto ffmpegX, the info for the movie says it has a frame rate of 2500.00 fps.

It would be great to be able to use reference movies and the ffmpeg command line - would save alot of time having to save out a whole movie.

Thanks in advance...
