Way too many problems with ffmpegX 0.0.9a

[Mr Anderson]

I have not been able to get this program to work for MPEG-1 or Mpeg-2 encodes using a variety of input files. I recently posted about being unable to re-encode an mpeg-4 file to mpeg-1 or -2; now a video-ts file will not encode. All of this use to work under 0.0.6g. I installed 0.0.9a, and all of the binaries as instructed : and got no error messages. Now problems. Here is a post of my terminal window:

Here is the "open" info as shown in the ffmpegX gui:

I cannot get this version to work. Can anybody help? Please.

Here is the "open" info as shown in the ffmpegX gui:

/Users/randolph/Desktop/Video Proj/Silly_Songs/TITLE01-ANGLE1.VOB

This is *not* the file info, as repeated already many times by other user.

The file info is *above* that !

In this particular case I would suggest that you remove the space out of your folder name "Video Proj"
