ffmpeg and NSTask

Hi All,

I'm playing around with ffmpeg and the NSTask object trying to get my cocoa application to produce streaming FLV files for a small project im building, however, when I run the following code, ffmpeg returns the error "~/Desktop/POC/text.avi: I/O error occurred Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted."

    NSTask *task;
    task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
    [task setLaunchPath: @"~/Desktop/POC/ffmpeg"];

NSArray *arguments;
arguments = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"-i", @"~/Desktop/POC/ text.avi", @"-ar", @"44100", @"-b", @"1024", @"-r", @"25", @"-s", @"320x240", @"-vframes", @"1000", @"-y", @"~/Desktop/POC/test.flv", nil];
[task setArguments: arguments];


    NSPipe *pipe;
    pipe = [NSPipe pipe];
    [task setStandardOutput: pipe];

    NSFileHandle *file;
    file = [pipe fileHandleForReading];

    [task launch];

    NSData *data;
    data = [file readDataToEndOfFile];

NSString *string;
string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog (@"got\n%@", string);



Issue is, if I run that call from terminal, it works 100% with no errors, I just get that error when I execute it using a NSTask.
Is there some strange thing in NSTask where you can use unix paths [ like ~ ] in the parameter list?


I know the application ffmpegX does this really really well, but I cant find the source :(

Cheers & Thanks in advance!
