I have been using Flaskmpeg 0.6 successfully to encode DVD movies to DivX 5.0 and heard of Xmpeg and decided to give it a try.

I installed the Xmpeg 4.2a with no additional files. Trying to encode a DVD to DivX and after making all the changes that the common sites suggest before I try to experiment, I go to Run > Start Conversion I get a FlaskMPEG Warning window that says the following:

"An error ocurred when trying to generate the file.
Check that you're not using the output file or the program is setup correctly."

I checked my settings and even tried using the default settings and then checked to see if there were any files that it was trying to output to and if they were in use. To my knowledge there is nothing wrong.

Can anyone shed some light on me, I have heard XMpeg is faster at encoding and am interested in using it. If more information is needed please let me know and I will disclose all my settings.
