Oh that lovely error.

Which version are you using, 2.0.0-beta1 or the SVN? Also, what was the path to the input and output files?

Thanks!

The beta doesn't have full directory support. Also, /dev/hdd isn't a directory, per se. Make the input and outputs specific movie files. You'll need extensions, as well (ffmpeg won't encode without extensions).

Re: HowTo: Encode Video for iPod Video

would this help?

Code:

benny@benny-desktop:~$ whereis vobcopy vobcopy: /usr/bin/vobcopy /usr/X11R6/bin/vobcopy /usr/bin/X11/vobcopy /usr/share/man/man1/vobcopy.1.gz benny@benny-desktop:~$ whereis vive vive: /usr/local/bin/vive benny@benny-desktop:~$

just wondering if vive can reach vobcopy?

If you're using the beta version, you need to make sure all drop down boxes are selected and that the input and outputs are file names, not directories.

Re: HowTo: Encode Video for iPod Video

Well finaly got it to work.My problem was that i was hittihg the load button after inserting the dvd and it would drop down a box with numbered tiles and in parantheses(sp?) next to it-it would have the duration of the movie.I would select that thinking that was all i had to do.But for some reason vive does'nt like that.If i seleceted the button below that and browse for the title directly of the dvd and just put mymovie.mp4 in the output then all went well.

thanks for the help

ps.also i noticed that when i went to upload the movei to my 30 gig 5th gen ipod it would tell me(through windows.I would transfer the movie to my laptop into itunes)that the bit rate of my ipod did not support the current bit rate of the movie.So I changed to ipodvidenc from 192 audio bit rate to 128 and all went well.

Re: HowTo: Encode Video for iPod Video

Alright, it looks like I was missing one drop down box. Now I'm getting this error...

What audio codec should I use? And what should the new file's extension be??

Thanks

Those k's should make all the difference.

Made that change, now when trying to convert I get the following:
