Hi there,

I have a sequence of BMP's. I want to form a single video coded in H.263. Can I do this with ffmpeg?

It's only complaining that he doesn't know the bmp format...

This is *not* what the message says. It cant find the codec parameters because it cant open the bmp files.

$ ffmpeg -f image2 -i bitmap/bmp0.bmp teste.h263

image2 means *sequence* of bitmaps, so it should be: -i bitmap/bmp%d.bmp

FFmpeg version SVN-r8538, Copyright (c) 2000-2007 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-memalign-hack --disable-debug libavutil version: 49.4.0 libavcodec version: 51.40.2 libavformat version: 51.11.0 built on Mar 28 2007 13:59:47, gcc: 3.4.5 (mingw special) [image2 @ 6C358054]Could not find codec parameters (Video: bmp) bitmap/bmp0.bmp: could not find codec parameters

Any suggestions?
