Product Description:

ffmpegX is a Mac OS X GUI to ffmpeg the "hyper fast video and audio encoder" (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/). This GUI provides quick encoding to DivX, XviD, AVC/h.264, VCD, SVCD, CVD, DVD, 3GP, DV, MP4, MP4 for iPod, iPhone, MP4 H264 for Sony PSP, FLV, MOV, mp2, mp3, AAC & AC3. MPEG-2 encoding relies on mpeg2enc component from the mjpegtools package (http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/MacOS/). DivX and XviD encoding and subtitles support relies on external mencoder component from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayerosx/. Includes bitrate calculators, a mpeg and DivX splitter for multiple CD burning, and other mpeg tools, including svcd to dvd converter and dvd to 4GB dvd compressor. Includes support for VOB subtitles encoding, DVD selectable subtitles, as well as SubRip, MicroDVD, SubRip, SubViewer, Sami, VPlayer, RT, SSA, AQTitle, JACOsub and MPsubt subtitles. When encoding to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 it can author the video as VCD or XVCD (.bin/.cue files for burning with Toast by dropping the .bin into VCD window) or as SVCD, CVD or K/XSVCD (two .img files to be burned in Toast under Multitrack XA window), or as DVD (/DVD/ folder to be burned in Toast DVD mode and .img file in UDF format for burning in Disk Image app or Toast disk image mode).

ffmpegX ReviewSTILL can't download mpeg2enc!!! - Version: 0.0.9y, 7/1/2008 06:50AM PST

vitoarc
I'm using PPC, so I need mpeg2enc from sourceforge, but every time I r-click to download it, or option-click to download the file, I get a blank document. This apparently has been going on for YEARS! A search on sourceforge shows that in July 2005, someone posted the following:

>>>"I cannot download the mpeg2enc for MacX from your website. I've
done it 3 times and all that gets downloaded is a blank document. I
need the mpeg2enc so I can run ffmpegX. Please help!!!"

The response was this:

>>> "Did you press the option key (labled with ALT) on the
keyboard when klicking the link ? It worked that way in Safari on OSX 10.3.x and 10.4.x"

That was it, STATUS CLOSED!

What else is nuts is that I am using a PPC, yet the ffmpeg application keeps asking me to install mpeg2enc.intel

SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG HERE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ADDRESSING IT

ffmpegX ReviewExcellent if you know what you are doing... - Version: 0.0.9y, 6/6/2008 07:15PM PST

This is a great application once you get all the facts. It is hands down the best of its kind. I use it in conjunction with Toast to create DVDs. It has problems converting poorly encoded files, but otherwise does the trick without fail.

ffmpegX Troubleshooting ReportHow to convert AVI to Video_ts files? - Version: 0.0.9y, 6/2/2008 12:16PM PST

sadepussycat
I realize this is a really stupid question for those who are very familiar with this software and for that, I apologize in advance. I cannot figure this out. I have tried converting AVI files to DVD formats and still cannot find any video_ts files which I can burn and play on my DVD player. I have an old player and unfortunately it's not as sophisticated as the newer ones that can play AVI files.

If anybody can direct me to what exactly I need to set the target format to and where to get these TS files, I would really appreciate it.
