Here is an idea to try: I would say you've mixed up the two styles of passing arguments, either pass args = "ffmpeg.exe -i video.mpg -f mjpeg -ss 5 -vframes 1 -s 160x120 -an video.gif" p = subprocess.Popen(args, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) or args = ['ffmpeg.exe', '-i', 'video.mpg', '-f', 'mjpeg', '', '-ss', '5', '-vframes', '1', '-s', '160x120', '-an', 'video.gif'] p = subprocess.Popen(args, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) If you mix the two styles then you are probably heading for trouble with argument quoting. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
