[MPlayer-users] specifying full path while encoding video from frame sequence

[Mehmet Kaplan]

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a video sequence from image sequence.
When I put images in the same folder with mencoder.exe, I can produce
the output video without any error.
But I can't give a full or relative path for image sequence.

I tried both the following commands, which I found on different forums:

mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2 mf://dir/*.png -mf
type=png:fps=25 -o C:/video.avi
mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2 "mf://dir/*.png" -mf
type=png:fps=25 -o C:/video.avi

Mencoder finds the image files (also number of files), but program
ends with an exception with following outputs:
