[MPlayer-users] mencoder mf://*.jpg - number of files != number of frames

[dadodrake at gmail.com]

Hello, 

I have 7 IP cameras. Every camera produces 1 picture per second, which
is uploaded via ftp to my system. So, at the end of the day I have
around 80000 pictures from every camera. 

Now, I want to make video from the pictures. I'm using this command:

 mencoder mf://20060423*.jpg -mf w=640:h=480:type=jpg:fps=25 -ovc lavc
-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -o cam1_20060423.avi

The problem is, that sometimes the number of pictures isn't equal to
the number of frames. Like this:
