It's possibly, event if is very unlikely, that's a fedora-specific issue; I still lacks a fedora installation here, so I can't check how transcode behaves on such platform.

OK, there is a couple of things to try. First, try the above command using a single file, *and* possibly using a well-understood file format like AVI: $ transcode -o snapshot -y ppm,null -x ffmpeg,null -i file.mpg -c 2-3 $ transcode -o snapshot -y ppm,null -x ffmpeg,null -i file.avi -c 2-3 And see if either commands ends correctly and produce correct snapshot. They of course are supposed to do so ;) If one of above commands fails, please report here the situation. Otherwise, let's see if you're ran into the Vicious Directory Mode bug[1]: $ transcode -x vob,null -i /some/dir/with/multiple/files/ Please report if this commands ends succesfully: it may take some time since it's supposed to read all frames of all files contained in given inpout directory, without doing anything else. best regards, +++ [1] A *really* annoying known bug, I know perfectly. Still not fixed. It has a pretty high priority on my TODO list (see hp below), and I have some ideas on how to fix it, but isn't trivial to fix. *properly*. -- Francesco Romani - Ikitt ['people always complain, no matther what you do'] IM contact : (email first, Antispam default deny!) icq://27-83-87-867 known bugs : http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Bug_Showcase tiny homepage : http://fromani.exit1.org (see IDEAS if you want send code!)
