Mencoder can't be installed

[t_heinrich]

Hello,

I've got problems with installing under Panter.

In the self installer dialog I locate mplayer, mencoder and mpeg2enc.
All files are in the same folder.
Then I type in my password and all tools will be installed.
Also mencoder will not be installed.

Can anyone please give me a hint, what I can do to find out what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for answering.

Check if your mencoder file is 6636100 bytes as it should be.

Hi,
thank you for your fast answer.
Yes this was the problem.
But I downloaded the same files from the same homepage. Mysterious!!

Now I will test the great software.

Hi,

I've had and still have the same problem. The mencoder that is within the archive that is mentioned in the ffmpegx startup-dialog

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mplayerosx/ffmpegXbinaries180105.zip

seems to contain a different version.

MEncoder dev-CVS-050118-17:00-3.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
Mac OSX static build by major for ffmpegX http://homepage.mac.com/major4/
AltiVec found
CPU: PowerPC

The filesize is 6.623.488 Byte

After locating the files I get this error:

##cp: /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/mpeg2enc: No such file or directory

So I created the directory as you (major) stated elsewhere.
I then get this error:

##/bin/sh: line 1: cd: /usr/local/share: No such file or directory

again I created the directory using

sudo mkdir /usr/local/share

.
The installer finishes the installation. However, uppon the next start of ffmpex mencoder is NOT found again.

I looked at the two directories that I've created.
/usr/local/share contains

• mplayer

/Library/Application\ Support/ffmpegX contains

• mpeg2enc
• mplayer
• gocrfilter_en.sed
• vcdxgen
• subtitle2pgm
• mp2enc
• gocrfilter_nl.sed
• vcdxbuild
• gocrfilter_none.sed
• yuvscaler
• tcextract
• yuvdenoise
• gocrfilter_fr.sed
• gocr
• mencoder

Mencoder has been copied. For some reason it seems that it is not beiing recognized.

I and many others have had that problem for weeks if not months now.

Is there a link to a "working" version of mencoder? Or is there a new version of ffmpegx out?

I have tried to be as precise as possible to get a precise answer or some kind of help that will get this fine piece of software running again.

you should try
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mplayerosx/ffmpegXbinaries230105.zip
which contains the file version mentionned by Major

Alas! It Works!!!

Hopefully Google will give this page a high rank.

I keep receiving the following error (after trying the above)

The installation was not succesful

##/bin/sh: line 1:cd: /usr/local/share: No such file or directory


Any suggestions?
