I absolutely, positively cannot encode to xvid or divx out of Final Cut

I have tried exporting out of Final Cut with a number of different options - uncompressed 10 bit, 8bit, dv, dv50, motion jpeg, mpeg4. Trying xvid I always get the attached error message. Any ideas?

*I think* you have to choose 'decode with quicktime' from the options menu when you are using the ffmpeg encoding engine.

The Process Information window shows trying to open a DVD, which doesn't seem right for a MOV to XviD conversion dealing with files on the desktop.

for some reason ffmpegX thinks the FCP QT movie is a DVD, if you turn on the decode with quicktime, the problem goes away. I've had the same issue.

Thanks folks. The decode with QT option seems to have done the trick. Encoding now...
