FFMPEG command problem...

ETC Microsoft Windows
1

Hi,

Currently having some trouble with FFMPEG....

I have the following files:

0001_.gif
0002_.gif
.............
0584_.gif
0585_.gif
0586_.gif
0587_.gif
0588_.gif
0589_.gif
0590_.gif
0591_.gif

And am trying to use ffmpeg to join them to a video as follows:

ffmpeg -r 20 -f image2 -i %%03d.gif -f mp4 -q:v 0 -vcodec mpeg4 -r 20 myVideo.mp4

However I keep getting this:

C:\Users\Pascal\Desktop\folder>ffmpeg -r 20 -f image2 -i %03d.gif -f mp4 -q:v 0
-vcodec mpeg4 -r 20 myVideo.mp4

Any idea what I might be doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance:

You've specified 3 decimal digits, but the gifs in question have 4 digits, followed by an underscore. I think %%04d_.gif might be what you need.

Ah ! OK, so that was why :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Sorry for the double post, but how would you go on about such mess ?:

Would you be so kind as to phrase your problem precisely in an understandable way?

I would rename all two and three digit numbers into four digit numbers, then use %%04d_tiled.gif

7

0%%d_tiled.gif might be worth a shot though.

Yeah, I use Aren to do the "rename to 4 digits" part.

I'll try your suggestion though, it would save me a lot of time.

Firing up Aren all the time is very unsmooth and costs a lot of time.

Thanks again !
