script error
I was able to make a script a few months ago with the generous help of this forum but now it has stopped working. When I try to run:
#!/bin/sh
for (( i=0; i<97; i+=30 ))
do ffmpeg -ss $i -t 10 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -i movie.mp4 index_$i.mov
done
I get the error:
./IndexVidBash.sh: line 1: {rtf1ansiansicpg1252cocoartf1187cocoasubrtf390: command not found
./IndexVidBash.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `}’
./IndexVidBash.sh: line 2: `\cocoascreenfonts1{\fonttbl\f0\fmodern\fcharset0 Courier;\f1\fnil\fcharset0 LucidaGrande;}’Any suggestion on how to fix this?

My bad. The error appears to have been caused by the fact that I was using Text Edit to edit my .sh file–not a good idea. Saving the script with a different editor fixed the problem.
FYI–the syntax for ffmpeg has changed since I used this script. With newer versions of ffmpeg you will need to use
do ffmpeg -ss $i -t 10 -i YUWinter.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy index_$i.mov
the ‘-acodec copy -vcodec copy’ needs to be placed AFTER the output file.

[Peter Robertson] “the ‘-acodec copy -vcodec copy’ needs to be placed AFTER the output file.”
Don’t you mean “after the *input* file”? Please use the CODE button on your commands and console outputs.
