FFmpeg implementation never finds input file

[Ponali]

after copying /Users/Public/Pictures/Dustin/My Brain.jpg to /Users/Public/Desktop/brain.jpg, and running the following in a new terminal window:
/Users/Public/Desktop>ffmpeg -i brain.jpg brain.png
the following error occurs:
The system cannot find the file specified.

if the arguments work differently than the actuall ffmpeg program, then please add usage text whenether the arguments are incorrect, or none are provided, or when --help is entered.

Indeed the arguments currently are not consistent with ffmpeg, but I would like to fix that and have planned to for a while, same for imagemagick. I also forget the syntax and ideally I want to change it to match ffmpeg.

Looking at your example I see you are using images so I would recommend imagemagick over ffmpeg, but if you want to the command is:

ffmpeg /Users/Public/Desktop/brain.jpg .png

or

imagemagick /Users/Public/Desktop/brain.jpg .png

Basically the last arg is just the extension .png. I do plan to improve on this as soon as I find time and ideally I would just pass along the args and flags as they work in the native apps, but it's a bit tricky with the way it works in JavaScript.
