Will try that one as soon as the Australian Open Final is over

[joshmunkey]

nice! thanks for the hard work, major.

I tried that new version with few DV to H.264 conversion.
No bug so far
Great work major !

One thing I wanted to report for a long time now...
Would it be possible to save the "Open Terminal Window..." setting ?
I always use the terminal to encode and it would be nice to keep that setting between every launch.

In fact there seems to be an issue with the crop filter.
Or maybe it's the video I use...
Here are some screenshots and the settings used.
Crop was set to 2, 6, 6, 2 and didn't seems to really worked...

You also changed the way mplayer deals with spaces in the path, right? It seems much more tolerant now.

Possibly there were minor changes there, committed some time ago.

Nope

I get this error:

/Users/per_h/Applications-Test/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/flvtool2: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/: bad interpreter: Permission denied

It would be nice to know what's wrong, since I've followed the instructions... Does it need a restart? Change of persmissions?

a) "Permission denied" seems to indicate that you aren't logged in with an account that has administrator privileges.
b) ffmpegX should be in /Applications, the all-users Applications folder in the root of the boot volume. Another reason to log in as admin.
c) check if 'ruby' is in /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ . Mine (PPC, 10.4.11) was in /usr/bin/, and I had to change that to make it work.

Do we still need to substitute the .9s mencoder in order to modify size and position of subtitles?

Well, probably... but no

a) I've logged in as an administrator (and installed the packages as one) - but if privileges are correct set it shouldn't be a problem.
b) I've tried with FFMPEG in /Applications with the same result, but that shouldn't cause a problem either (since the ruby app is called directly).
c) Ok, that could be it but...

When I change the script according to the instructions in your refreence I get:

/Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/flvtool2:2:in `require': No such file to load -- flvtool2 (LoadError)
        from /Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/flvtool2:2

So that doesn't seems like the solution.

Im fully aware that there is some kind of misconf on my behalf, but I'm following the instructions and get no help.

Please give me some more ideas to test
