I installed Handbrake 0.96 and VLC, tried to encode some files from a DVD, the program continually crashes. The one time it finished to completion creating an m4v file using h264 encoding, none of my media players would play it (WMP, VLC, QT) saying they can't read the file or it is an unsupported file type. Any help would be appreciated. I searched online but haven't found anything useful.
