[FFmpeg-user] FFmpeg on Windows can't find a file that exists

[Leo Izen]

I have a file on windows, and when I try to run ffmpeg on it, it says it
doesn't exist, even though it does. Why is this? How can I fix it?

Here is my output:

C:\Users\todd\bin>dir "..\Boombox (ft. Julian Casablancas).mp4"
