hi im new to the dvd burning world (also mac) and its killing me to figure out the avi to dvd burning method. i have a emac 10.2.8 so i have to install the older version (ffmpegx 0.0.9k) and when i do i get the "missing gnutar" when trying to install the mencoder,mpeg2encoder,mplayer things. the website says to install 0.0.9h if that happens but i have no idea what im supposed to do with that version where 2 programs are in the download. i actually got ffmpegx to work once without the 0.0.9h which i thought was weird and using it again it made me install the mencoder etc. again after restaring
ffmpegx. it was not working right because i put a .avi file to ffmpegmpeg2encoder for dvd burning on toast 6 titanium
but when the encoding is near done my mac freezes and when i restart the computer i have two empty ts_video and
ts_audio file(this has happened twice already). also my quicktime 6 doesnt read .avi files so i unchecked the encode
with quicktime but there was no option of checking encode with mplayer. if any case is their a simpler way to convert
.avi i downloaded p2p usually 700Mb to burn for my home dvdplayer to toast 6 titanium? plz help thanks
