Ah, okay. Well, that is the expected behavior. ffmpeg(.exe) is a terminal program. It doesn't open a GUI or such. If you launch it without command line arguments, it will only display a short help, as quoted in your first email. You need to call ffmpeg from a command shell (such as cmd.exe under Windows), and pass command line arguments, telling it what to do. Please read the introductory documentation here: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html If you would rather have a GUI, i.e. something to click and navigate, there's no particular frontend I can recommend, I don't use any. Some people tend to use HandBrake, which may use ffmpeg under the hood for some stuff (I'm not even sure).
