    I'm runninng movic on Fedora Core 7 x86_64 and am unable to run any conversion.  When I run movic with '-v' I see that every time i click the 'Convert' icon the error: 'an error ocurred in execvp' appears.

    The steps to reproduce on my system are:
    1. Run Movic with 'movic -v'
    2. Add File --> Select MP4 file
    3. Click 'Convert'
    4. The gui just refreshes and in the terminal where i launched the app I see the above error.

    I've tried running as my user and root as well as using mp4's from a number of sources....

    Let me know if there's any other details that would be helpful.

    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Thanks,
    Matt

      Sorry for replying so late!

      Try running ffmpeg in command line an see what happents:
      $ ffmpeg -i input.mpeg [options] output.mp4
      and see what happens.

      I will add some code to converter.cpp and commit to svn so movic will be able to tell you what's the execvp error.(you can also do it yourself it's not that hard, see man execve)
