DESCRIPTION
ffmpegX is a Mac OS X GUI to ffmpeg a hyper fast video and audio encoder.

It can decode MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4 (aka DIVX4/5), VOB, AVI MS-MPEG4 V3 (aka DIVX 3), WAV, Real Audio, H263(+) (aka RealVideo 1.0), PGM, YUV, PPM, AC3, PCM8/16 bits, mulaw/Alaw, SUN AU format, MPEG audio layer 2, MPEG audio layer 3, MJPEG and even more formats.

This GUI provides quick encoding to DivX, MPG1, MP2, MP3 & AC3. You can therefore convert DVD video to DivX, DivX to VCD or XVCD, and DVD to VCD or XVCD. Includes a bitrate calculator and an mpeg splitter for multiple CD output. When encoding to MPEG-1 it can author it as XVCD (.bin/.cue files for burning with Cdrdao, or with Toast by dropping the .bin into VCD window) or XSVCD (two .img files to be burned in Toast under Multitrack XA window)

WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.0.9y:
  • Fixes for Leopard compatibility
  • Added iPhone preset
  • Added metadata in FLV encoding (to enable progress indicator in Flash video playback)
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

CORPSECORPS  The old question: Is this project DEAD?

What about 1.0?

Work under way, or abandoned?

Site has looked the same for a LONG time. Discussion continues on the forum, but Major hasn't posted in ages. :(

AIKOUSHA  Where is Progress.app?

Good questiion, since it's in the package itself, yet, the dialogs do not let you navigate to inside a package... So everytime I try to use it, it just takes a couple of minutes to locate every app on every connected drive... gives the selection dialog, and any exit attempt (by selection or cancellation) ends up with the GUI's "Encode" button waiting to be pressed again.

How can an app not locate a tool that's part of itself?

Anybody have a simple fix for this?

HUBBIN  My opinion is invalid because of a problem out of my control? Tell you what, if you're so smart, then you tell me how to fix it.

CORPSECORPS  "If i'm so smart"?

Did i claim i was?

It just doesn't make sense to give something the minimum rating if you never actually investigated it's functionality. Since other people obviously HAVE used it successfully, that suggests the problem lies with the files you're operating on, a conflict on your system, missing libraries, or something you're doing wrong.

It would just be more appropriate to post a comment or troubleshooting post. You can't really objectively review software never having actually used it's features.

SQUIDA  I am also having problems with the "progress.app". I have tried to crtl-click to download. I have removed the ".intel.txt" from the end of the file and yet I still am having problems. Any help would be appreciated.

SQUIDA  I found the answer elsewhere...

to locate progress.app simply click the ffmpegX icon in the applications window. This solved all the problems and the software is working BEAUTIFULLY.

Thanks

SLVTNPLT  When I try to encode, it asks me for "Progress.app". I read some of the earlier comments that said it's in the "ffmpegx bundle" but I can't seem to be able to view the package info or anything?

When I try to preview, it gives me this error message:

---

libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.

Using AltiVec optimized IMDCT transform

Checking for AltiVec resampler :

0x00000002, 2

Using AltiVec optimized resampler

The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.

Also, try adding the scale filter, e.g. -vf

spp,scale instead of -vf spp.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in

module: decode_video

- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/

FPU/RAM.

Recomple MPlayer with --enable-debug

and make a 'gdb' backtrace and

disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/

bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.

-MPlayer crashed. This should happen.

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your

gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's

fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and

follow the instructions there. We can't and

won't help unless you provide this

information when reporting a possible

bug.

Quartz error: CDSequenceEnd (-50)

Yeah, sorry, REALLY long. But any help would be appreciated! ffmpegx used to work fantastically for me, so I have no idea what's up with all this.
