Can't get XViD encoding in ffmpegX working...

[Thomas - MacFreak]

Hi all!

I have tried many times now to encode a chapter from one of my DVD's with the mencoder XViD codec in ffmpegX, but it doesn't work.

I'm using the latest binaries and the latest ffmpegX version. Can somebody help me to find the problem? Is it possible yet to use the XViD codec in ffmpegX ?

Here is what I get in the Terminal when I try to encode the short chapter in ffmpegX:

Same thing here...I wouldn't worry too much about it, I believe this is a bug that will be fixed in 6h released sometime this week.

Ok... Thanks! Then I know it's not only me.
