i've been using ffmpegX for a while and its worked quite well, but for no apparent reason its stopped working properly. whenever i try any encoding with ffmpeg instead of mencoder i get ffmpegX crashes.

when i use mencoder to encode .m2v files a lot of the time the file starts off as a regular avi by the time the encoding is over the file is an unreadable AVI. (i've stopped the encoding at 80% and i've been left with a readable file)

i've tried deleting ffmpegX changing all the settings, no luck.

any suggestions?

thanks
