Installed FFmpeg and it shows version and all correctly.

But even info FFmpeg command itself shows

FFmpeg -i Alice_In_Wonderland.mp4

Gives message like:

Seems stream 1 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate:  
49.93 (9986/200) -> 49.92 (599/12) Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2,

    Stream #0.1(und): Video: h264, yuv420p, 480x270, 49.92 tbr, 24.96 tbn, 49.93 tbc
At least one output file must be specified

Please tell me what's the problem

Just like the error message says, you need to give it an output file. The basic syntax would be

ffmpeg -i Alice_In_Wonderland.mp4 Alice_In_Wonderland.avi

You can (and probably should) add options such as in this:

ffmpeg -i Alice_In_Wonderland.mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag divx -vb 5000k -aspect 2.424 -r 23.976 -acodec ac3 -ac 6 -ab 384k Alice_In_Wonderland.avi

That will create a DIVX format file.
