You do realize you're on the wrong mailing list for this? Please check
"ffmpeg-users".

Let me try to be friendly anyway:

You don't provide either what you're trying to achieve nor what the
error message is. That's useless.

"-i" provides the name of the input file. You probably don't have a
file named "0". And please don't call it the "-I" option, because
that's something different, as case matters.

Don't use "-vd". I don't see any documentation saying that "-vd" is a
valid option.

Have you tried "ffmpeg -h"?
