HELP!!! ffmpegx progress zero kb

[smjsinclair]

Hi!
I am trying to convert an AVI file to MOV using ffmpegx (on my mac). Now, it worked the first time i tried, but when i was trying a second time the finished product in the "progress" window finished like the min i clicked "encode"... The size of the product was zero kb... When i click on the blue "i" in the progress window, this is the message:

ffmpegX only detects one video stream, and no audio stream, while you are converting to a format that specifies two output streams (video and audio). That's why it's giving an error on the number of stream maps.
If your source file really only has video, then de-select "Encode audio" in the Audio tab of ffmpegX, before pressing the Encode button.

if you can, email me

I'm having the same problem and am frustrated after spending HOURS trying to get a simple .mov file encoded to .flv. So if "ffmpegX only detects one video stream, and no audio stream, while you are converting to a format that specifies two output streams (video and audio).... then what do you do if your video has an audio track? If I "de-select "Encode audio" then there will be no sound. Thanks,

I'm having the same problem [...] trying to get a simple .mov file encoded to .flv.

I would need more information to be able to suggest a course of action.
- What does the ffmpegX Summary say about the source file (video and audio details)?
- What does QuickTime Player's Movie Inspector (Cmd-I) say about the MOV file?
- And please provide ffmpegX's Process Information log. (You may access the log by clicking the blue "i" in the ffmpegX Progress window after a conversion attempt.)

Hello- I have the same challenge... trying to convert from mov to flv creates empty files immediately. Here is the info from my source:

What am I doing wrong? Any tips?
