Other that the obvious difference of Windows and POSIX paths, there will 
be differences in the way the two versions of ffmpeg are built. This 
means that two builds of ffmpeg may well support different sets of file 
formats. For each, try:

     ffmpeg -codecs
     ffmpeg -formats

and see which build best meets your needs.

Dave.
