  1. Can anyone tell me how to use ffmpegx? Every time I run it then click the open button I get an error that says "NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 3 (1)" What can I do to correct this? I'm not 100% sure of how to use the terminal window although I do use it for par's and rar's regularly, so if I need to do something in there please explain if thoroughly for me. Likewise, if I need make any changes to my system, please explain that to me also. Thanks.

  2. Nevermind, my search didn't bring up the topic that told me to update my applescript. I did that and now I can open and select an output file, but I never get a valid output file.

    This is what I get with a .rm file: Welcome to Darwin!

    ffmpeg doesn't support all kinds of formats in input. You should try with DivX, mpeg-1 or mpeg-2.

    This is self-explaining. Real files are not supported apart from Real 1.0 which is a very old format.

    This file is not mpeg-1 nor mpeg-2. It is encoded with the DX50 DivX codec which is also not supported in this build.

    You should try with DivX 3/4 or OpenDivX, mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 input.
