Your line contains seven of them. I am not sure what should be meant by that, nor seems the command line parser to be. If you have to use quotation marks inside quotation marks, try to use some other style, like "jpeg:outdir='Y:\Testfolder\Testfolder 2\17.wmv_thumbs\'" I myself don't use spaces in filenames on windows, it causes trouble all the time.
