Let's try this. Let's see if the MLT command line (melt) can correctly encode video as h.264. Here is an example command: $ melt -verbose -profile dv_pal_wide */home/jonathan/Desktop/example.avi*-consumer avformat: */home/jonathan/Desktop/example.mp4* acodec=mpeg2 ab=128k ar=44100 f=mp4 vcodec=libx264 minrate=0 b=900k Let me know if this works. Hopefully this will give us some clue to what's going on. Thanks, -Jonathan On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 12:20 PM, GMaq
