you gave the output path/name the same Name as the input path/name!
At least use another directory.

You're pitching down the audio from 29.97 to 25 fps, that will sound horrible! How did you tread the video? As you cant slow down the movie/audio from NTSC 29.97 to PAL that easy!

You wanted to re-encode to ac3? I do see here Lame as encoder for mp3!! output, so do check your settings in the GUI u used.

See my statement about path/name above

Ok, thanks, kinda stupid that i didn't notice that (same name thing)
And as to your first question, i'm trying to convert the video to pal too, but the output files keep getting to big, i also posted a question about this in the other encoders section.
Your second question, how do you suggest i convert the ac3 then?

Thnx for your help

What final format do want to make: DVD-Video, SVCD, AVI...

Hello jojo15,
i find your signature very distracting. How about using plain text for your signature just as all the others? You could put a link to Peerweb.org in your signature. At the moment, your graphic doesn't even work as a link...
Or just choose you preferred Avatar and save others from scrolling over wasted space when they are actually looking for the posts!

Oh and btw. your signature graphic is 72 kb in size!

Greetings,
Malcolm
