Hi I'm having such similar issue with germ, plus some new error msg. may i know how did you help germ to resolve?

Error msg 1
/Users/fredlee/Desktop/34.rmvb: I/O error occured
Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

[when using mplayer or real player, it plays perfectly fine with video and audio as well. I tried changing the file name to .rm and still the same]

Error msg 2
Encoding started on Sun Oct 23 17:22:16 GMT-8 2005

[this is the same as germ. again it reads perfectly fine in mplayer or real player]

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
