Here is the info on my version of ffmpeg. I always get an exit value of "1", which causes "new" to fail.
root@fhs4:/Sites/reboundrevenge.com/bin# ffmpeg -version
FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
configuration: --enable-libmp3lame
libavutil version: 49.4.0

root@fhs4:/Sites/reboundrevenge.com/bin# echo $?

I simply disabled your test to make it work.
if ( 0 && (system("$self->{ffmpeg} -version > /dev/null 2>&1") != 0) ) {
carp "Can't find ffmpeg command.";
exit 0;
}
And here is a simple test script to see what perl sees and the output from it:
root@fhs4# cat testffmpeg.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Carp;
use FFmpeg::Command;
my $fname = 'carmellabj.mpg';
#my $ffmpeg = FFmpeg::Command->new('/usr/bin/ffmpeg');
my $exval =system("/usr/bin/ffmpeg -version > /dev/null 2>&1");
print "exval: $exval\n";
if ($? == -1) {
print "failed to execute: $!\n";
}
elsif ($? & 127) {
printf "child died with signal %d, %s coredump\n",
($? & 127), ($? & 128) ? 'with' : 'without';
}
else {
printf "child exited with value %d\n", $? >> 8;
}
exit;
__END__
root@fhs4# ./testffmpeg.pl
exval: 256
child exited with value 1
root@fhs4#
I don't know if this is new in ffmpeg or what, but that test in "new" will never succeed, at least on my machines.

Hi, Thanks for your comment.
Could you send me a patch, please?
