I have everything in one folder called mencodeME023,but packshot wont start up for me,mencodeme works fine,so am not sure what the problem is,any help gratefully received

Do i need to have the cvs builds,or can i just have mencoder.exe in the folder?

Well the prinicip is,

you have to have the packshot.exe and ITS needed FOlders (engines, settings) in the same folder where mencoder.exe is, if that is done right, everything should work fine ;-)

have uninstalled,installed,reinstalled in different places and still cant it to work,the audio encode works fine but for some reason it cant find mencoder.

Awnser these three simple questions please :
- where is memcoder.exe on your disk ?
- where is packshot.exe on your disk ?
- what are the EXACT name of each exe on your disk ?

Just for testing ...

.. put mencoder.exe directly into the system32 folder within the windows or WinNT folder on your C: Drive.

So it will be defenitely recognised as I do remember it is determined in the commandline "mencoder.exe" without a path in front of it.
