A quick note to all, as the install for ffmpegX leaves a little to be desired in terms of User Experience (UX) !Do it like this and it'll be easy peasy, lemon squeezy:
- Download the dmg file and mount it
- Optionally - copy to Applications (which is better practice, arguably)
- Run
- When presented with install binaries screen as per below image (you can always get back here from the ffmpegX application menu ;-) ) do as it says, in terms of get the intel codec (url provided in the screen as text, so select/highlight and paste into browser. (On first install when the binaries aren't assigned the items will appear in RED indicating you need to complete the install)
- Same with the mencoder and mplayer, although two urls are displayed they are for the same ZIP file so only download the once.
- Extract/ unpack the mencoder/mplayer ZIP file from the above step
- Respectively assign the downloaded files to each "Locate" button - NOTE the mencoder and mplayer binaries are in the folder you unpacked the zip to
- I personally dont like entering my login/sudo password directly into the app (far from best practice), but did so to complete setup.
- Go to the ffmpegX Application menu, select 'Install Binaries' and check that no RED text is displayed, if it is, you need to re-download and assign the particular dependency.
Cheers and happy transcoding!
