AppleScript Error

[stembridge]

I am getting an error when I click on "best" under video Bitrate calculator.

The error is:
AppleScript Error
The varible_iframe is not defined (-2753)

What do I need to do?
Thanks!




(I just noticed there were several other notes regarding this problem...)

This issue is currently unresolved for ffmpeg presets. An update to the program is needed to fix this. In the mean time,
• You could try the previous version of ffmpegX (0.0.9x r2).
• Depending on your target format, you could try a mencoder preset.
• You could temporarily switch to a similar video codec (non-ffmpeg), calculate the [Best] bitrate, then switch back.
• You could stick with the suggested preset settings.

thanks. I need to convert to flv, so I guess, going back is not gonna be good. Can you expand on the mencoder preset?
Thanks!

I need to convert to flv, so I guess, going back is not gonna be good.

0.0.9y added the metadata feature through flvtool2, but the FLV encoding is the same as with 0.0.9x r2.

Can you expand on the mencoder preset?

I could, but it doesn't apply to FLV, as encoding to FLV isn't an option with the mencoder engine; only with the ffmpeg engine at this time.

The [Best] button in the Calculator takes 3 parameters for its calculation: video codec, frame size and framerate.
FLV - 320x240 - 12 fps has a 'best' bitrate of 207 kbps.
FLV - 320x240 - 23.976 fps has a 'best' bitrate of 413 kbps.
FLV - 320x240 - 25 fps has a 'best' bitrate of 431 kbps.
FLV - 320x240 - 29.97 fps has a 'best' bitrate of 516 kbps.
FLV - 432x240 - 23.976 fps has a 'best' bitrate of 558 kbps.
So the formula is: video bitrate = 0.00022458 * width * height * framerate, where 0.00022458 is specific for FLV.

Thanks for the information, that is very helpful. So, is there a sourceforge place to find the earlier version (0.0.9x r2)?
Thanks!

FTP previous version.
