Ok.

This is what I am doing...

Extracted the files and a folder was created: FLViviewDemux4OSX
I copied the streamed file into this location.
I grab the file with the pointer and drop it on: FLViviewDemux4OSx app
I get the following: The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error. Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.

K, sounds like there's a problem with my code. I might not have time to fix it tonight though.

If you want to try it yourself you can use the terminal in OSX. Here are the steps:
1.Open the terminal (it's in the applications/utilities folder)
2. Drag ffmpeg to the terminal. It will show up in the terminal as an absolute path to ffmpeg
3.make sure the mp4 file is in the same directory as ffmpeg
4. Add the following text to the end of the ffmpeg absolute path that is showing in the terminal

-i "filename.mp4" -vcodec copy -acodec copy newFilename.mp4

(replace filename.mp4 with the filename of the original file)

thanks - tried this but just kept getting an error that the file could not be found. I have made sure that the video is in the same directory. so not sure what is happening.

What are the source and destination filenames you are working with?

Do either or both filesnames have spaces in them?

Make sure you uses quotes (") around the filenames.

I simplified the source filename to just test.mp4 and destination test2.mp4 so no spaces. I have ensured there are quotes around both filenames. The app is reporting "No such file or directory" for the source (test.mp4)

here is the string I am using:

<directory location>/ffmpeg -i "test.mp4" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "test2.mp4"

Update: Manged to get it working by changing into the directory in Terminal first then running the app using the full directory path.

Not sure why I need to be in the directory AND provide the full path though? I thought I could do one or the other - though I am not proficient in UNIX.

Yansky / Mce - thanks for your assistance have been able to successfully capture streams and convert to mp4. Also, the file works fine on my iPad. BTW: the conversion process takes seconds which is really impressive! Again, thanks.

Hi Folks
I registered here just to post a big thanks to the person responsible for iViewNapper.
My wife hasn't been well and our VCR crapped out last night while I was recording something for her, downloaded it today, dumped it to a USB stick and she's watching it as we speak, iViewNapper worked like a charm.
Once again, a big thanks from me.
Budsy.

No problem mate.

If you guys watch shows on SBS or 7 then check out my other Nappers on the website.

Don't let her miss her favourite "Desperate Housewives" episodes.

I have iViewFox 1.2.2 in FF3.6.13 on W7_64 and the latest update appears to have stopped it working?
The save dialog appears but the cmd window does not and no net traffic follows?
