AVI help

[Swanick]

Well, I've previewed it again, and it looks like it's going to work. I may have done something wrong earlier.

[Swanick]

Could you post the first thirteen lines of of the
ffmpegx process report
( it will look like a Terminal produced report)?

methinks that if you are getting mysterious video cut offs,
it is more than likely dumping frames it is having problems with.....

So how do I fix it?

This is what I got, by the way:

Give me the next thirteen lines, specifically up
to the part where it says it is reading the codecs
within your file... anything also within brackets will also
be helpful.

[Swanick]

I just did a "select all". Sorry if it's too much info.
