well i was rather happy when i saw this because the mencoder way is a bit frusturating at times

i encoded a Divx AVI file and its was 1/2 the size of the one i made with mencoder (about 10mb off). But when i tried to play it on rockbox's mpegplayer the audio is really  out of sync

im not sure if this is just my iPod or an encoder problem

Any idea what the following means

Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been misc
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers
.

It's not important in relation to using it for this. You can find a newer ffmpeg.exe if it bothers you. Use google and make sure the program works before replacing the old one.

We'll need a sample file then, if the audio sync is off. Add the -fs 5000 (for a 5 mb file, adjust to how much you want to upload) to the options in the bottom of the WinFF window.

WinFF doesn't work at all here. I'm on Ubuntu 6.10, installed it through the provided Debian package.

When I start encoding the status window pops up and closes immediately. Only a zero-byte output file gets created. This is for any video file I have thrown at it so far. The PLAY button in the main windows also doesn't seem to do anything - for me.

Try executing the included ffmpeg binary in the terminal window and see if that provides you with any output giving a hint as to why it's failing.

You may want to try replacing it with an updated ffmpeg binary.

Hm. I'm on linux, so there is no binary provided with WinFF. I have ffmpeg installed in the system and when I run the command in terminal everything looks normal (gives me a help screen with options).

Hi,
I think I figured it out.. ;) It seems ffmpeg in Ubuntu is "crippled" for legal reasons. I added the "Medibuntu" repository and updated ffmpeg from there. Now WinFF works as expected.

I run a ubuntu platform and winff does not work for me! it seems that it is restricted for the audio! I have tried to fix it a number of ways but still cant get it to work! i also cant transcode with vlc (which worked fine before when I was running a windows system and a windows version of vlc). It would be nice to have a similar .bat like file in linux which transcode videos automatically with vlc. maybe there is an easier way! hope someone has a better idea!

I get this error on a XP 64-bit machine:
SHGetPathFromIDList failed: invalid pidl.

Here's the source code, the error message is in it but I still don't know what it means: http://winff.googlecode.com/svn-history/r30/trunk/%20winff%20--username%20bggmtt/unit1.pas

The program itself is not created by us, and any real bugs should immediately be reported to its creator.
