Transcode error Mac OS 10.6

I've set up a server on a Mac mini running snow leopard 10.6 (subsonic 5.1). All is fine with the exception of transcoding of ogg files which fails with the following error message in the log:

"/Library/Application Support/Subsonic/transcode/ffmpeg": error=86, Bad CPU type in executable

I'm struggling to find a solution to this and would be grateful if anyone has experienced this and found a solution could share the solution with me

Many thanks
Cyrus

Not a Mac user, but you could try updating ffmpeg in the transcode folder:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've given that a shot and have replaced the version of ffmpeg in the transcode folder with this one. Still getting the same error message. Will probably need to go back to square one and try a step by step reinstall.

Actually really easy solution - I tried the version for leopard (I have snow leopard) and that worked, so problem solved. Thanks
