Not sure if this is a bug or a feature: It looks like ffmpeg is no longer part of the Windows binaries. Couldn´t find any hints in

Update: ffmpeg in Windows binaries missing

ffmpeg.exe is actually in my ImageMagick-6.6.1-Q16 directory but I get this
Code: Select all
convert -quiet -delay 1 plane.avi plane.gif
Magick: no decode delegate for this image format `plane.avi' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/532.
Magick: missing an image filename `plane.gif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2970.
I came that far that I spotted ffmpeg in the delegates.xml but now I have to surrender...
Any ideas?
Andreas

I don't know how IM finds ffmpeg on Windows.
However, I tried "where ffmpeg.exe", which tells me where (in my PATH) the program is. I then renamed it, and a convert involving ffmpeg failed. Messing around with my PATH seems to confirm that IM does a simple path search.
So, if ffmpeg.exe is in your IM directory, try either putting that directory in your path, or copy ffmpeg.exe to a directory in your path.

Hi snibgo,
So, if ffmpeg.exe is in your IM directory, try either putting that directory in your path, or copy ffmpeg.exe to a directory in your path.
Tried both, doesn´t work. Also installed the lastest Windows binary ImageMagick 6.6.2-0 2010-05-17 Q16 - same...
When I just do 'ffmpeg' in my DOS-shell I get a response from ffmpeg with version info etc. So I assume it´s not a problem with my path.
If you have any other idea, it would be most welcome.
Thanks again,
Andreas

Could your input file plane.avi be corrupt? That error is thrown when IM reads the magic bytes and fails to find a corresponding delegate. Try the command on an other AVI.
If you post a URL to planes.avi, I can try to read it.

Tried another one: Same result.

We can reproduce the problem you posted and will have patch in ImageMagick 6.6.2-1 Beta within a day or two. Thanks.
