i have a list of images which im trying to convert to a video.
the images are the following:
t2.jpg
t3.jpg
t4.jpg
I can convert those three images into a video with:
ffmpeg -r 5 -i t%d.jpg -y -an video.avi
but if i turn the names to t20.jpg,t30.jpg and t40.jpg, it doesn't work anymore.
and changing %d to %02d doesn't make any difference.
What am I doing wrong?
The user interface around ffmpeg seems to be very bad.
Is there any other way to turn a list of images into a video?

Hope this helps
For creating a video from many images:
ffmpeg -f image2 -i foo-%03d.jpeg -r 12 -s WxH foo.avi
The syntax foo-%03d.jpeg specifies to use a decimal number composed of three digits padded with zeroes to express the sequence number. It is the same syntax supported by the C printf function, but only formats accepting a normal integer are suitable.

I get the same error:FFmpeg version SVN-rUNKNOWN, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-pp --enable-swscaler --enable-pthreads --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libogg --enable-libgsm --enable-dc1394 --disable-debug --enable-shared --prefix=/usr libavutil version: 1d.49.3.0 libavcodec version: 1d.51.38.0 libavformat version: 1d.51.10.0 built on Apr 23 2010 15:11:13, gcc: 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3) t%02d.jpg: I/O error occured Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

You can try renaming the files from to t10,t11,t12 as it says they should form a sequence.

i name them 11.jpg,12.jpg,13.jpg and 14.jpgthen run:ffmpeg -f image2 -i %02d.jpg -r 12 -s WxH foo.aviand get error:%02d.jpg: I/O error occuredUsually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.but i mean, i know there is nothing wrong with the files themselves,they worked perfectly when the names were 1.jpg...4.jpg.and the command had a %d.jpg

@Hermann I think when you use %2d you need to start naming your files from 01 upto 99, %3d from 001 upto 999 and so on.Clearly the error is because it is not able to find the sequence of files which it has to use.

yeah that was it, one must start from file one, and that file-one must be named 01.jpg etc.
