ffmpegX won't convert files due to "syntax error near unexpected token"

[JayEm]

Hello!

I am trying to convert Real Media videos and got the hint to try it with ffmpegX. I installed ffmpegX the way it should be, renamed my harddisk from "Macintosh HD" to "Mac" and when I am using ffmpegX and open a .RM file and click on "Play" the video starts. Therefore I think the codecs and so on are installed correctly.

But when I try to convert such a video I receive immediately a "ding" sound. The log file looks like this:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `printf "Encoding started on " && date && '/Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/mencoder' /test.rm -ovc x264 -nosound -ni -sws 0 -x264encopts threads=2:me=2:bitrate=940:qp_min=22:qp_max=51:i4x 4:keyint=120:nocabac:deblock:nob_adapt -ofps NTSC FILM (29.97) -vop scale=320:176,pp=0x33,harddup -of rawvideo -o /test.rm.ff.avi.264 && /Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/movtowav -o /test.rm.ff.avi.wav /test.rm && /Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/normalize /test.rm.ff.avi.wav && /Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -i /test.rm.ff.avi.264 -i /test.rm.ff.avi.wav -y -vn -f mp4 -acodec aac -ab 128 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -map 1.0:0.0 /test.rm.ff.avi.aac.mp4 && /Applications/ffmpegX.app//Contents/Resources/mp4box -fps NTSC FILM (29.97) -add /test.rm.ff.avi.264 -add /test.rm.ff.avi.aac.mp4 -new /test.rm.ff.avi.mp4 && rm /test.rm.ff.avi.wav && rm /test.rm.ff.avi.264 && rm /test.rm.ff.avi.aac.mp4 && printf "Encoding completed on " && date && printf "\a"'

Since I've renamed my harddisk to "Mac" (without quotation marks) and the filename of the sourcefile is even DOS-compatible I don't know what I else can do to let ffmpexX convert my videos.

Do you have any suggestions?

[Case]

The error is: syntax error near unexpected token `(', which refers to -ofps NTSC FILM (29.97).
The problem is that there is no such thing as "NTSC FILM (29.97)", hence the syntax error. There is "NTSC (29.97)" and "NTSC FILM (23.976)", however.
Verify that the target framerate is set to a valid value. Use the framerate drop-down menu in the Video tab for this. My advise would be to match the source file framerate.
