I searched on the other discussion, but the solution there didn't work for me. I've been using ffmpegx for a couple of years now, but now it will go to start to convert an avi file to another avi file with subtitles, but it starts and dings finish right away. There is an output file that is 0kb. I'm using a intel mac mini and installed the files correctly, but it still doesn't work. What's funny is that it worked a few months ago, but when i went to convert something recently, it just stopped working. It's starting to drive me a little bonkers. Any input would be appreciated. Here is the ouput progress file if it helps. Thanks.
