hi guys.. I've been reading the whole forum today, but still can't solve my problem even if you wrote about it many times. Maybe I'm too noob to understand it by myself (and sorry for my terrible english..)
So: I've got this avi file created with QT and I need to make a VCD or SVCD (the only important thing for me is to view it on my tv!)
Tried to use ffmpeg's presets without changing anything but I got an error concerning yuvscaler. After reading a thread about this error, i changed the codec and used "MPEG1 [.MPG] (ffmpeg)" but here's the resulting code in Terminal:
Code:

Anyone can help me?
I really don't know anything about video encoding, so please be patient

I downloaded the latest version of ffmpeg and tried again! Here's the code I get while using VCD (PAL) preset with ffmpeg codec
