Knew there would be something obvious!  Somehow in my mucking about I
had two ffmpeg one at /usr/bin and one in /usr/local/bin.  When doing
ffmpeg -formats it was picking up the /local one but the script went
to the other one.

However I'm not a huge amount further ahead.  It now runs and produces
a video file which if I load up with quicktime on a windows pc then it
plays and I get audio but just a blank screen instead of any image.
If its any sort of clue I get a movie fps of 25 but a playing fps of 0
from the "movie inspector" part of quicktime

I've tried reducing the commands passed to ffmpeg to  a minimum with
the aim of getting some sort of output and then gradually add them
back in to optimise it.

I have tried it with
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i tmp.mpg  -acodec aac -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 128k
-s 320x240 -vcodec h264 -b 300k $2

I'm just a bit puzzled if other people are having success.

Thanks
Stephen
