  1. I'm trying to convert a video I made in Final Cut Pro. I export it in "final cut pro movie" (which if I understand right is a quicktime movie in dv video codec). Then I try to convert that file in ffmpeg with the VCD preset (I tried the two ones).
    I always get this error when muxing (I think):
    **ERROR: [mplex] Too many frame drops -exiting

    It's weird because I already converted some of my video that way and it worked great. You can see that I' m really an amateur when it comes to converting and I don't understand much past the presets.

    (the zip is the log of the process and a screenshot of ffmpeg)
    (edit: you can get the file here: www.erobote.com/error_ffmpeg.zip )

    Try MPEG Streamclip just for grins.

  3. I tried it. I can't seem to be abble to convert my quicktime movie with it. The "convert" commands in the menu are gray. Anyone got another solution? Should I post this in another part of the forum?

    Try using the Export commands. Perhaps it can be saved as something else. You might also try NOT exporting from FCP; instead, save it as a "reference movie". MPEG Streamclip can work with ref movies.

    MPEG Streamclip does not make VCD-ready files. It doesnt create MPEG1 or 2 video at all.
