Hello to everyone of you,

i have downloaded a video from youtube with the menu "activity" from safari on mac os tiger.
i can read this video on vlc both when i put the extension .avi and .mpg .
but to play it from ffmpegx, i have to put .flv extension (so i guess this is the only really valid one because vlc is very flexible and can read even with a wrong extension).
but when i try to reencode (having renamed with the .flv extension) on ffmpegx, the reecoding lasts at worst 1 second but the resulting file weighs zero bytes.

why ?

i have installed the binaries (the ffmpegx libs) but my processor is a power pc g4 and mpeg2enc is the intel one, is it the reason ?
does it exist a powerpc version of mpeg2enc ?

thanks.
