	I am assuming that when you run MEncoder, your current directory
contains
	a directory called MidwestHighway, which contains the JPEGs.
	
	I am not at a Windows machine, so i can't test, but I would
enter the folder
	where the images are located and then:
	
	mencoder mf://*.jpg <mf://*.jpg/>  -mf fps=10 -o output.avi -ovc
lavc
	-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -ffourcc DIVX
