problem locating mpeg2enc file when openning program

[danielmak]

Every time I open ffmpegX the program asks me to locate mpeg2enc, but it doesn't do this with the other two files. I have tried putting the mpeg2enc file in different folders and there is already a mpeg2enc file in Library>Application Support>ffmpegX. In the grand scheme of things this is my smallest problem at this point, but it is a minor irritation that I would look to fix. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I found the first link searching the forum and that didn't solve my problem, but the second link didn't come up during my search. That did it. Thanks. It also solved a problem with mpeg2enc moving super fast (1-2 seconds) and not encoding anything. So thanks on two fronts.

On a similar note, if I encode with mpeg2enc (avi>dvd) and I click decode with mplayer instead of quicktime, I get an error message about removing spaces. There are no spaces, just letters, numbers, periods, and /. What should I remove to "remove spaces" and if it is backslahes, how will the program know where to put the file? Thanks again for helping solve the first problem. Take care.
