MPG to DV or other iMovie format does not work...

[pigmallet]

I am new to this software but have used it to convert other file types with ease. I have a sony digital camera that records fairly good quality video clips. It records in MPG format which is not usable with iMovie. I have tried to convert a clip with ffmpegX to all possible file types but nothing happens. All I get in the end is the new file with the correct file type name on the end... but the file size is 0 and the conversion takes only 1 second to complete.

If anyone can help...please.

Thanks

Please post the log () in order to look for an error in the conversion.

Audio stream listed before video stream, resulting in a mismatch for mapping. With some files that happens.
Tick the Invert mapping checkbox in the Audio tab. Then try again.
