New to zprocess. Profiles?

[Bluethunder]

I've just installed zprocess 1.001, to clean up my transcodes, I'm running gbpvr 99.12

When gbpvr starts a transcode, mpg to divx or xvid, zprocess starts up, and it begins the transcode. I knoticed that it was using ffmpeg, even though, in my 2avi profile I specified mencoder.

When I looked at the logs, it says its using 2mpg profile, even though its encoding to .avi.

Have I missed something obvious?

Thanks

May I suggest that you zip and attach logs next time. they're easier to read.

The key error is this:

Code:

Failed 3 times getting video dimensions. Giving up

That indicates that mplayer (part of MEncoder) couldn't read the file.

I would not try to transcode with GB-PVR until you can successfully transcode manually with ZProcess

As far as profiles, if you have a MPG you want 2AVI...
