Problems when trying to insert subtitles

[edoud]

Hi!
I'm a member of the FFmpegX's french forum (carpo).
We can't find a solution to this problem :

Here's the log:

[Case]

MEncoder dev-CVS-051126-18:35-3.3 Coffee 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
parse error at line 1
Mac OSX static build for ffmpegX

The mencoder binary has the lines

MEncoder dev-CVS-051126-18:35-3.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
Mac OSX static build for ffmpegX

directly following each other. If this line "parse error at line 1" somehow came between it, then the binary wasn't installed correctly. When he is just running mencoder, it already gives errors, even before it looks at any file.

jim.eye should log in with an administrator account, download a fresh copy from the URL mentioned in the Installer window, unzip that on his desktop, use the Locate buttons for mplayer and mencoder, set the appropriate checkboxes, let the installer copy them to the right location, then trash the originals on his desktop.
