FFMPEG amr to mp3 conversion problem

Hey all, I'm having the following issue converting amr files to mp3 files. When I try to do the converstion I get the following:

Test.amr: Invalid data found when processing input

It's actually weird considering i have another file recorded earlier and the conversion works as you can see here:

Any idea as to what might be happening?

Your test file might be corrupted, or just contained something ffmpeg's decoder couldn't handle. Try playing test.amr on a player to see if the file is not just corrupted. If the problem is in ffmpeg, you might try updating to the latest version to see if they have fixed it, you can download the source from http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html (you'll have to compile it).
