I am trying to make a svcd with the latest ffmpegX v0.0.4g Nov 2, 2002. I get my source from DV home video. Bring it to my system with imovie. Export to with the highest setting, meaning that the movei is basically a dv stream wrapped in a .mov extension, so my 60 min movie is about 11 GBs. Then if I use the vcd preset it works to make a vdc, but when I do a svcd, I get some weird errors at the end. Here is my transcript from an svcd:

Sorry to use this thread for other purposes but I'm having a problem after using ffmpegX and I didn't want to start a whole new thread for this.

Since I have used ffmpegX, whenever I launch the terminal the pbpaste |sh command gets executed.How do I get rid of this?

Good luck with your problem gee308

depending on your shell, check that shell's config file to see if the ffmpeg script is being called from there. ~/.profile, ~/.cshrc or some other file like that, other than that, I'm not sure what the problem could be.
Do SVCDs work for you on FFmpegX?

try telling ffmpeg under the "Tools" tab to "keep elementary streams". This will prevent you from having to re-encode every time you want try something different. It look like you are encoding ok but he problem lies in the creation of the VCD. If you save the elementary streams you can try remuxing the streams in a separate process (under the "tools" tab).

I'm having the same problem with pbpaste being executed everytime I open a term window.

Looking in .tchrc and .profile doesn't work. Has anyone found a fix?

Thanks

Not sure if you got this fixed - but the error seems to be that your source is bigger than 1 CD - so it wants to split the output file in two. Put a %d in your file name and see if it works.
