Woah. Strange. I just cut and pasted mplayerprobe.sh straight from the webpage and ran it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/hdb4-90g$ vim -N mplayerprobe [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/hdb4-90g$ sh mplayerprobe One_Piece_220.mp4 -g 704x400 --import_asr 3 -f 23.976,1 It all looks sensible and capable of being backticked into a transcode invocation. Strangely, your errors are very similar to those burped out by zsh: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/hdb4-90g$ zsh mplayerprobe One_Piece_220.mp4 mplayerprobe:1: [1-9] not found mplayerprobe:25: parse error: condition expected: = mplayerprobe:26: parse error: condition expected: = mplayerprobe:27: parse error: condition expected: = (standard_in) 6: parse error -g x --import_asr -f ,0 Could you have some bad shell linking/aliasing? Maybe, HORRORS, bc isn't installed (wild guessing)?
