[MEncoder-users] Problem with generating video from image files

[Torbjörn Rathsman]

I am trying to create a video file from a set of image file using the
following command:

mencoder mf://../frames/%d.png -mf fps=25 -o ../video/new-video.avi -ovc
lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3:predia=2:dia=2:vmax_b_fram
es=2:vb_strategy=1:precmp=2:subcmp=2:preme=2:qns=2:vbitrate=30000000

After it comes to a completly black frame it says

"The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec."

and aborts without generating a valid video file. If I remove the black
frame, everything works fine. How should I deal with this?
