ffmpegX Option Decode with Quicktime or mplayer??

[HayZues]

I'm trying to put together a .mov & .srt on a SVCD but the Option (Decode with mplayer) dosen't seem to be working to well, actually at all.

I open .mov, go to Quick Presets SVCD, go to Filters Check Subtitles, Burn, Load subs .srt, go to Options Check Decode with mplayer, ENCODE.

In about 30 seconds I end up with Finished but it isn't.
What gives does anyone know? The INFO READS something like this!


/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: `printf "Encoding started on " && date && /Applications/ffmpegx/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/mencvcdX /Users/----------/Desktop/movie -a 2 -abr 224 -asr 44100 -size 576x304 -vbr 1581 -vfr 3 -quant 6 -cdsize 9999 -w /Users/------------/Desktop/-------------------.mov -aid 0 -sub '/Users/------------/Desktop/--------------------------------------.srt' && /Applications/ffmpegx/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/mplex -V -f 4 -O 0 -b 230 -o /Users/------------/Desktop/movie.mpg /Users/------------/Desktop/movie.mpv /Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpa && /Applications/ffmpegx/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/mpgtx -s -P -N -2 /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg -b /Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpg && /usr/bin/vcdxgen -q -t svcd --nopbc -o /Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpg.1.xml /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg-1.mpg && /usr/bin/vcdxbuild -q --cdrdao-file=/Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpg-1 /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg.1.xml && rm /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg.1.xml && rm /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg-1_02_pregap.img && /usr/bin/vcdxgen -q -t svcd --nopbc -o /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg.2.xml /Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpg-2.mpg && /usr/bin/vcdxbuild -q --cdrdao-file=/Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpg-2 /Users/----------/Desktop/movie.mpg.2.xml && rm /Users/-----------/Desktop/movie.mpg.2.xml && rm /Users/------------/Desktop/movie.mpg-2_02_pregap.img && printf "Encoding completed on " && date && printf "\a"'


If I try to ENCODE the .mov by it's self with Option mplayer I get this INFO.

Remove all those spaces and special characters like ( ) in your filenames and folder names.

Thank You, for your reply and know how!! YOU Rock! YES it's working, but I guess you knew that. Yes I forget that ffmpegX doesn't like spaces in file or folder names. I didn't think of odd characters. thank you vary much.


ffmpegX rocks thank you so much!!!!


P.S. Iwas messing around before I got your message. I made it work by opening MPlayer dumping the .mov & .srt files in it then doing what I explained and it worked with out taking any characters out.

BUT I LIKE YOU YOUR WAY MUCH BETER AND EASYER TOO. LESS STEPS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THANKS AGAIN!
