python ff-mpeg not working on VM

I have two Windows 2008 R2 64 bit servers with two different host providers (GoDaddy and company B). My python script runs successfully on GoDaddy's server. It doesn't run successfully on the server with company B.

I installed the same software on both servers:

The company B server is giving me an error related to an executable called en-ffmpeg.exe that uses the python ff-mpeg module. The exact error message is

[dv @ 0x1449690]Can't determine profile of DV input stream. C:\Music\song1.mp3: Error while opening file

The song.mp3 file exists. I installed the latest Windows updates on the server with Company B but still I get the error. I believe the error is because something is not configured properly on this server (missing libraries or drivers?). However, I don't know what that is!

Please help :)

UPDATED TO INCLUDE COMMAND AND ERROR OUTPUT FROM FFMPEG

COMMAND:

c:\Python27>en-ffmpeg -i "C:\Music\song1.mp3" -y -ac 2 -ar 44100 "c:\users\x07 dmini~1\x07ppdata\local\temp\x02\tmpax82jf.wav"

I also tried removing the double back slashes from the command but got the same error.

SVN-r17988 is absolutely ancient and is unsupported. User a newer ffmpeg from Zeranoe FFmpeg Windows builds and it will work.

FFmpeg development is very active, and using the most recent build available (or compiling it yourself) will ensure that you're not experiencing a bug that has already been fixed.
