Install problems......

[Early Morning Hater]

Only used this app a coupla times...but with no success.

Any time I drop a file in the source format window and click encode, ffmpegx
runs for about 5 seconds, tells me it's 'finished' and when i click the info button
I get this message:-

Encoding started on Sun Feb 25 11:07:09 GMT 2007
/bin/sh: line 1: /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/mencoder: cannot execute binary file

Having shut down the app and then started it up again, I get asked to re-install
the binary files, despite the fact they are there in the Application Support folder
that ffmpegx installed them into.

So I deleted the whole app and all the support files, D'L a fresh copy, install the
binaries AGAIN. Drop my file in the window, encode and ...exact same error message.
After quitting the app again and having a read up on the ffmpegx site, I fired up the
app again...and it STILL asks me to install the binaries again.

I'm obviously doing something dumb here, I'd appreciate someone telling me where
I'm going wrong.

Bud.

There is possibly a permission problem. Are you running an OSX account with admin permissions?

I've had a few problems in the beginning but after removing the software and Trashing the copied binaries and starting again anew a few times...Now it works. I created a seperate Folder on my Desktop which includes only the ffmpegX.dmg, the mpeg2enc.doc, and the Folder containing the two other .exec binaries). Everything is in ONE spot. I had noticed that the first times I had tried to install mpeg2enc.txt instead of mpeg2enc.doc...Once I tried the mpeg2enc.doc everything openned. Now I'm trying to figure out why the new version is not recognizing all AVI, OGM and MKV files. Do you have any ideas on this?

By the way, I forgot to mention that you might have the 5 sec clip checked in the Filters or Options Tab. I used that option a few times in order to preview results before encoding.

I am the admin and only user of this Mac. I repaired permissions before install.
I just for the hell of it deleted the whole thing again and installed another copy of
the app and the binaries. Same result on both things. Any time I shut it down and
then start again, I have to reinstall the binaries. When I drop a file and hit the
encode button...5secs later...same error message as before.

Thanks for trying,

Thanks for replying. I looked at that possibility. That 5 sec clip option is
not checked in the options tab.

I just seem to have solved the same problem here:
Changing the permissions of ffmpegXbinaries20060307.zip from 644 to 777 apparently did the trick (still testing.. running my subtitle-extraction...)

-> open a terminal and type "chmod 777 Desktop/ffmpegXbinaries20060307.zip"

I Have solved, i have decompress the file ffmpegXbinaries20060307.zip and I have copy the 2 files inside /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/ overwriting files on the folder.

Hope to help someone

sorry for my poor english
