First time user needs basic help

[dgny6]

Thanks inadvance for any help. I am trying to convert a .wmv to .mpeg to be used with flash. Every time I go to finish the conversion it is done in like half a second, and then when I try to open the file, it sais invalid file. Do I have to tweek certain settings or anything. I am not trying to change the size or anything just a simple conversion.

Which version are you using? 9t or 9s?

I am using 9t...

Here is the message from the blue "i" however I am not getting an error message untill I try to play in quicktime for example.

The quicktime error message is :

QuickTime cannot open the file: "Michelle&John_reception.wmv.ff.mov"
it is not a file that QuickTime understands (-2048)

A few users of ffmpegX (myself included) have been reporting that 9t (with the new support files) fails to work for many, if not all, conversions. I reverted back to 9s (which may be found here: http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ffmpegX_0.0.9s.dmg ) and the older set of support files. Works fine now (except for H.264 but this is a known item I've been told).
