[Ron Johns]

Hi again,
         Thanks all for taking the time to help me out with this ffmpeg 
stuff.
In answer to points raised and questions asked...

Yes , all the files are playable , both on my computer and on CDs which 
I have copied straight to CD with Fedora cd/dvd creator. They will play 
on my Mpeg capable CD player.

Bit confused by what you mean by...

Quote
 "Basically - Ron, it's so much easier to help you troubleshoot when you
post accurate information. I've had a look at ffmpeg in Ubuntu and
this error doesn't appear to exist - it has a "I/O error occurred"
message. The same message happens if you mistype the input files
path/name. "

The error message which I posted initally was cut and pasted straight 
from the terminal.
Thus...

This is the output on Fedora C6 I'm afraid no matter what Ubuntu might 
have to say about it.The output is repeatable at will.any time.

appreciated as usual.
