You have to make sure the version of ffmpeg you're using has xvid and
faac support. It's so important that they made it step #1 in the
instructions: http://www.myth2ipod.com/myth2ipod.html
One other gotcha I found is that I had a problem where it wouldn't
work as a user job but did work from the command line. The
instructions say to use:
/usr/local/bin/myth2ipod "%DIR%" "%FILE%" but I was getting an error
so I changed it to: /usr/local/bin/myth2ipod /path/to/program/
directory/ "%FILE%" and it worked like a charm.
