Yep, it makes perfect sense, and is a good fit for my needs. A follow up question, but this may be something that I’ll just have to grok from the ffmpeg documentation - is there a way to get feedback from the ffmpeg tool while it’s running, via NSTask? It writes a log to stderr, and there are settings to control how verbose that is, but it would be necessary to parse the text output to look for specific things. I need to know whether the input stream has finished, or how big the output file has become. The latter I may be able to do by looking at the file itself, not sure about the first bit. —Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
