[MEncoder-users] Unclear error, AE_FAAC

[Peter Sebastian Masny]

Hi all,

I'm trying to convert some video I've captured using my vholdr camcorder 
(xvid and monoPCM I think). I'm putting it in a format compatable with 
my iPhone.  However, it fails and I'm not sure why. The same commands 
work fine for a DVD conversion. (Debian system)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Peter
