[Ffmpeg-user-old] Encode DIVX from a CRON script?
Hello All! This is my first post to this group. I just recently began needing to encode a (large) directory of .JPGs to a DivX video file (No Audio). I have a working command line to do this (I'm at work, don't have it here, but was a very straight-forward commandline). I have it in a bash script file, and works fine when I invoke it from a terminal session. I went into crontab (mepis linux 3.3) and added the shell script. It does not encode from cron but does from the command line. Can someone tell me how I can encode from cron please? I tried ending the command with >/dev/null and 2>/dev/null; neither worked. Any help is seriously appreciated. -Dave Stamford, CT, USA ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?

What happens exactly? What is the command line?
I tried ending the command with >/dev/null and 2>/dev/null; neither worked. Any help is seriously appreciated.
Try </dev/null ; dont redirect stdout nor stderr but post the output.
