Definitely a noob.
I’m using the Yellow Submarine tutorial and everything works great until I try to render.
I enter the output settings as directed (resolution 320x240 and output to Quicktime) and select animate. I immediately get a windows message that “Blender has stopped working” and windows shuts down Blender and Python. Something ain’t right!

try to set output so anything but quicktime and see if it works =)

If it works without quicktime you got a build without ffmpeg, if you need it, you can grab a build at graphicall.org.
Alternately you can use image sequences as export and import them lateron to e.g. VirtualDub and export any format you like.

hy,

if you can render a still image wtih F12, then I think not blender is the bad guy, but quicktime :D. Why not trying a h.264 avi?
