fmencoder error

Yes that would be fantastic. I've tried everything I can think of. Let me know where to send you the information.

I have SSH but will have to download some java runtime thing and restart my computer before I can use it. I will do that now and check back for more info on using this!

OK.

It's late here so I need to get some sleep.

When you've logged in with SSH:

1. Find your www and cgi-bin directories and use the "cd" command to get into the cgi-bin directory. For example:
   

   cd www
   cd cgi-bin

2. Then find the real directory path like this:
   

   pwd

That's the path you need to use in the $FILTERS setting for "encode".

Hi,

Also, once you've changed to the "cgi-bin" directory, you can run fmencoder like this:

./fmencoder

It should print out a usage message and a version number.

Thanks so much for your great support. Get some sleep and give your suggestions a try and let you know how it turned out! Thanks so much!

Hi,

Thanks.

I got your server details and I've logged in and done some initial investigation.

Everything is perfect, and the correct path is indeed "/home/crittergitter/www/cgi-bin".

So, this is a bit of mystery.

I suspect a misbehaving shell or PHP installation.

I'll have a look at it in detail tomorrow, my time.

[russellr]

PS....

Your server details are safe and secure (only I can access what you sent).

But, if you want to change your password until I contact you tomorrow, that's fine.

YOU'RE THE BEST! Thanks so much for the incredible tech support!

Night Night!

No need. I trust ya!
