i didn't try. I got things working now by downloading another
ffmpeg.exe win binary build, with the same security-settings that got
convert.exe working this ffmpeg.exe worked 'out of the box'. I guess
it has something to do with some .dll (cygwin?) files or something
that where installed using another account or something. This is all
very confusing but i'm happy i've got it working now.

cheers all! Olaf
