The problem seems to occur only when ffmpeg is called without ".exe"
extension. But doing so it is no longer cross-platform, eg developing
on windows, deploying on linux. Next I am not sure if RVideo still
accepts the command if I attach the .exe extension.
This seems to be a general problem in rails when calling a program
without extension from windows. I figured that calling IO.popen
('ffmpeg').read works on both platforms so maybe that simply needs to
be changed in RVideo.
