I know that FilmRedux is in pre-alpha state, and I am fully aware that it has problems. However, I'm experiencing an issue that I have not seen anyone else describe here, and therefore, I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong.
I downloaded the lastest version of transcoderredux from Sourceforge svn. I then installed all of the subsidary packages.
Then, I opened FilmRedux.xcodeproj and did a "Build and go". The code compiled without an error and the application opened up.
Then, I dragged a video file to the "Drop video and audio files below" window and clicked "Start". After a couple of seconds, the following error message popped up:
AppleScript error
The variable exportfile is not defined (-2753)
At this point, the application is doing nothing. The progress bar just sits there with the "barber pole" animation until I hit "Cancel".
It doesn't matter what type of video file I'm trying to convert, nor does it matter what target format I'm trying to convert to. I always see this same behavior.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well, thanks. So what is a good format to try? I get the same error on *.avi, *.wmv, and *.mpg files when trying to convert them to *.mov, *.mp4, and *.avi (of course, I don't do avi=>avi).
Is there some sort of system setting that could cause this error to occur? If so, I'm thinking that it must be something obscure, because I have dozens of AppleScripts and countless apps which run with no problem on my 10.5.6 machine (a MacBook Pro). I've never seen this error except with FilmRedux.
Or perhaps does a certain directory have to exist? Or do one or more files on my system need to have certain file permissions or ownerships?
I know the software is in Alpha, and this is not a complaint. I just want to find out the cause of my problem and fix it.

PS: as far as I can tell, this error is occurring on line 754 in the "main.applescript" file:
set contents of data cell exportfilecell of theRow to exportfile
Bump.
Is there anyone who could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? See above.
Thanks.
I'm sorry but I couldn't replicate your result. Don't forget that only a few formats work so far.

Also, I get this same error, even with the latest version of FilmRedux that I downloaded from here: http://www.transcoder-redux.com/transcoder-redux.dmg.zip
I also tried the following version and also get the same error: http://www.easelnet.com/app/filmredux1.02.zip

The issue is that only the apple formats were actually coded. The others were added to the interface, but have no code behind them.
Unless you're trying to convert to, say, iPod or AppleTV, in which case, it's a bad bug...
