That seems like a normal behaviour. The "Fix OGG Theora" transcoding profile is provided to fix an issue with some ogg theora files (audio sync or something like that, I don't remember exactly, it was provided by Dan Dennedy). This transcoding profile should only be used on OGG Theora files, which is why it fails with your xvid file... More generally, the transcoding profiles called "Fix xxx" only apply to the files already in format xxx. regards jb
