I have a bunch of png images I want to put together to make an avi movie with.  When I use the following line

/Applications/Mencoder\ OS\ X.app/Contents/Resources/mencoder mf://*.png -mf fps=75:type=png -ovc lavc -oac copy -o mypngmovie.avi

I see the following...

Using GNU internationalization
Original domain: messages
Original dirname: /usr/local/share/locale
Current domain: mplayer
Current dirname: /usr/local/share/locale


MEncoder dev-CVS-030602-20:55-3.1 (C) 2000-2003 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS)

Requested video codec family [mpng] (vfm=mpng) not available (enable it at compilation)
*** Try to upgrade /Users/gpapkov/.mplayer/codecs.conf from etc/codecs.conf
*** If it still does not work, read DOCS/codecs.html!
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x474E504D.

...and then it exits.  I am new to bash scripting and using mencoder, so if anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
