Help converting video

[jroach]

I have recorded on my Mac (Tiger) using iRecord .2.7c. The recording records a ts or mpeg 2 transport stream fine. I am able to play it with VLC and even convert it to mpeg 4 and make a DVD.

However, when I try to use ffmpegx to convert the file to dv I get a resulting 0k file. Also under the source there is audio listed for the ts file but where it says video it says, 'no video'.

How can I create a converted file of normal size and why does it say 'no video' in ffmpegx for the ts stream? Will there be no video on ouput?

Just as an aside, I am not able to view the file with Quicktime 7 with the mpeg 2 codec nor mpeg streamclip. However, there is audio.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

The convert process information window says,

Encoding started on Sun Feb 19 03:45:36 CST 2006
Mac OSX static build for ffmpegX
Input #0, mpegts, from '/Volumes/Audio/Users/jroach/Movies/Hero Test.ts':

Number of stream maps must match number of output streams

The info window for the file I'm trying to convert says
