[MPlayer-users] mencoder segfault or pic-distortion

[Andreas Schuldei]

i have tried this with the latest cvs and the stabel release
downloaded in the tar.bz2 file form mplayerhq.hu. the effects are
the same.

I try to encode a series of jpeg or png pics into a simpel movie. 

doing this:

mencoder -mf on:w=800:h=600:fps=2:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts
           aspect=4/3:vcodec=mpeg4 -o sod.avi /tmp/sod\*.jpg

gives me a segfault:

Segmentation fault

doing the same with png instead lets me encode a movie, but the
pic is totally distorted.  look at it at
http://www.schuldei.org/sod.avi

i also tried other options for -ovc but i only get flickers,
distorted pics or nothing at all.

is that because i use grayscale pics? 

i generate them with convert from latex output: 
convert -crop 800x600! -density 120x120 -quality 100 sod.ps jpg:sod%03d.jpg

i allso tried to generate color pics by adding -depth 8 or/and
-colorspace CMYK, but with no success.
