Improper image header

Post by yudhist39 »

Code: Select all

D:\wamp\www\ffmpeg\test_media>convert robot.avi robot.jpg
convert: Improper image header `robot.avi' @ avi.c/ReadAVIImage/1234.
convert: missing an image filename `robot.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2710.
can anybody tell me, what's wrong with that error?
FYI, i'm using ImageMagick 6.4.7 Q16 on WinXP SP2

AVI is more of a meta file format with litterially hundreds of file formats (codecs) all known as AVI. IM can not know them all directly, though it does try.
