Newbie needs help with encoding

[YAN]

Hello all

I've followed all instructions in installing ffmpegX and required components and installation has gone well.

As a test I am trying to convert a VOB file into a VCD compatible format and get the following error:

**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] Could not read YUV4MPEG2 header: system error (failed read/write)!
============================================

Other conversions (that don't use mpeg2enc) seem to work.

Can anyone give any assistance.

Thanks!

Make sure there are no spaces in your path/file names. If you've got a name like "My Movie" the OS (which is Unix-based) will look for two files..."My" and "Movie".

Check if you installed the Apple mpeg-2 player component.
