I am trying to make a stop motion video from jpegs. I have tried the Stop Motion software but couldn't get the export function to work. Found a thread recommending just using Mencoder to do it, so I tried that too. Here is the error I get:

I took the commands directly from the Mplayer documentation for converting a folder of jpegs to an Mpeg4 video. Why does this fail at output and how do I fix it please? I am running 8.04 Thanks.
