This sounds like a bug:
If "ffmpeg -i input yadda" does not work, please 
provide the sample.

Complete, uncut console output missing.

There is no format prores that you could specify.
-f specifies file formats, in some cases you can 
specify -vcodec for the input codec, but this is 
unusual, better provide a sample if it does not 
work.

These formats either don't exist or have other 
names ("mpegvideo" for raw MPEG-2 Video), you 
should not have to specify these codecs (I 
don't think they exist in file formats that 
need it).

Samples?
