I downloaded video of a rugby match played between the US and Wales a few weeks ago. Its a 512x384 resolution XviD format .AVI. I want to convert this and burn it to a DVD so I can watch it in my DVD player. I know the best solution is to either watch it on my computer or to hook my computer directly up to my TV, but I want to be able to watch it with a bunch of people, and neither is really an option since my computer is in an office and it would be a huge hassle to move it to where there is a TV.
I downloaded FFmpegX and opened the AVI and chose to convert to DVD. The video worked fine, but there was no audio in the resulting MPEG. Also, I checked off "Author DVD to Video_TS" in one of the FFmpegX windows, and it did not do this.
Whenever I open FFmpegX, it brings up a message that there are components missing that need to be installed. These are mpeg2enc, mencoder, and mplayer, but whenever I download the binaries and try to install them, it brings up an error message that says "#cp: /Library/Application Support/ffmpegx/mpeg2enc: No such file or directory" (or whatever the binary I am trying to install is at the end). I am getting the feeling this may be the problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.
I am starting to get frustrated because I just made the switch from PC to Mac, and it seems like there were so many things that were so easy on a PC that are a huge hassle on a Mac. Any help (including suggestions for different software that works better) would be greatly apprecieated.
