Could be, but I suspect that's at the root of your problem. Try transcode again with scsi off. As to your comment about my transcode use..... like you I just STW and docs for examples an try 'em (same for mencoder). I've often come across those that seem to conflict. I've also come across some that had typos, were lacking parts, or were just plain wrong. For example, a resize CL for mencoder straight from the mplayer online docs at mplayers site: mencoder input.mpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -vf scale=640:480-o output.avi The example lacks a space between 640:480 and -o. It also lacks any sound. I edited it to mencoder input.mpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -vf scale=640:480 -oac mp3lame -o output.avi Which works great. But I had to get the sound part (-oac mp3lame), and where in the CL to put it, from various Google searches. BTW, that resize command works for input formats other than .mpg. It substantially reduces file size while maintaining near original video and sound quality. I've used it to down size (to CDr size) .avi and .wmv formats. It works for .mov, but sound is lost, at least for the ones I've tried. So, I believe you've got a few thing to look at, get rid of SCSI emulation, keep lookin for examples, and encoding often involves 100% cpu (and chipset) usage for many minutes. Make sure your hardware is up to the task. At least you're not so afflicted as me. Rather than ask for help, I just keep fsckin around till I get it to work ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
