Transcoding help

I have a large library of videos in the mp4 format. I'd like to stream them to my tv, but it only will play mpeg2 and avchd. I installed FFmpegX as explained here - http://www.twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8550 (Twonky on MAC with FFMpeg). Unfortunately it didn't work, the transcoding options are active on TWS, but no transcoding actually happens as TWS crashes. My coding skills and knowledge of video formats is pretty minimal, but I'd like to try to get this working rather than wait until TWS 7.0.

Here's my setup-
Intel Mac 10.5.8
D-Link DIR825
Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 2TB
Panasonic VIERA TC-P42S30

The videos reside on the GoFlex, which is connected to the DLink via USB 2. The TV is connected to the DLink by cat5e.


Thanks
John
