    Im trying to use FFMPEGX to encode videos to the PSP, I've followed to tutorial on the site and was successful twice...but when i try again, it just quickly makes the bell sound and leaves an empty MP4.
    The source format is
    From: MP4
    Video: H264, yuv420p, 640x360
    Audio: aac, 44100 Hz, Sterio

    Targer Format:
    To: PSP
    Video: FFMPEG xvid, 320x240, 300kbps, 29,97fps, no crop
    Audio: aac, 24000 Hz, 32 kpbs
    (AKA default PSP setting)

    Im on a real iMac running OS X Leopard

    Please post the Process Information log, accessible by clicking the blue "i" in the ffmpegX Progress window, so we know what was going on during the conversion attempt.

    For some reason there is a problem with 264 encoding on multi-core intel macs... To get around this, you need to disable multi-core support. unfortunately, there isnt a good way to do this with out using terminal.

    This is the script I use; you can of course change size, bitrate, codec, etc. rename old.avi to the file you're converting and new.mp4 will be your new file. In case you're curious, -level 21 makes the h264 a format psp and ps3 will understand (not needed if you're using xvid), and -coder 1 limits you to 1 thread/core (or so i've been told). Hopefully this is a good starting point in your hunt, not sure if this solves encode from problems, but it solve my encode to problems.

    /Applications/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -y -i ~/Desktop/old.avi -f mp4 -vcodec h264 -level 21 -s 480x272 -b 1000k -coder 1 -acodec aac -ac 2 -ab 128k ~/Desktop/new.mp4
