Hi,
seems like there is a space somewhere in the config file, we had that several times.

Anyway, DASHEncoder is not maintained anymore and I would really recomment to switch to either x264+MP4Box (www.dash-player.com/blog/2014/11/mpeg-dash-content-generation-using-mp4box-and-x264/) or to our cloud-transcoding service www.bitcodin.com, which gives you also some free credits to test it out and has a great API with a lot of client implementations (http://developer.bitcodin.com/doc).
