Cannot Convert On Portable Version without FFmpeg - How to Configure?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Covert any video on the PortableApp Version where FFmpeg.exe does not exist
2.
3.

What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?
Conversion with FFmpeg. I see an error message in Windows. I suspect there 
should be FFmpeg on the same drive as my portableapp and can be configured in 
Preferences to find it???

What version of DamnVid are you using? On what operating system? Better
yet, paste the system info that you see in the Bug Report dialog, if
possible.

1.6

Please attach the file damnvid.log, found the in the following directory:
- %APPDATA%\DamnVid if you're on Windows (Copy/paste that into Explorer's
address bar)
- Home/Library/Preferences/DamnVid on Mac OS X
- ~/.damnvid on Linux
Please provide any additional information below.

C:\Data\Working\Screen\20130327_1258_48.avi

We're dealing with a file stream here.

Profile is 6 ; Output directory is C:\Data\Working\Screen\New\

We're in on-the-fly conversion mode.

It looks like it did find it at 
F:\PortableApps\DamnVidPortable\App\DamnVid\bin\ffmpeg.exe

Does that file not exist?

Its does. It must be some other problem, where I am receiving the error
message box in windows XP Service Pack 3, with the sub heading "ffmpeg.exe
has encountered a problem and needs to close."

Is this a familiar problem?

Perhaps there is some command line command to check it manually?

Thanks...

I've never seen ffmpeg.exe crashing except on some really corrupt video files. 
You may want to try and download a newer build of ffmpeg from anywhere on the 
internet and replace the existing one, and see if it works better. The one 
included with the portable version is a few years old.
