Same results here, but I just use "transcode". I burned a bunch of<br>
exercise disks for my wife a year or so back, and found that transcode<br>
did a much better job of handling motion than ffmpeg. The latter had<br>
too many motion artifacts. I know ffmpeg is supposed to be faster, but<br>
I haven't had the time to dig up the right version. If I had more time,<br>
I'd try "mencoder", too.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Thanks Dale. The reason I wanted to use ffmpeg was because it looks like it should allow encoding for iPods. I want to be able to put my kid's shows on their iPods and I was hoping to do the encoding in one step. If I can't get ffmpeg working, I'll just continue on with my current approach...encoding with transcode then copy to a Windows pc and reencode there.<br>
<br>It appears to me that ffmpeg changed syntax quite some time ago nuvexport was not changed to work with ffmpeg.<br><br>Greg<br>
