Comment (by thilo.borgmann):

 Replying to [comment:3 amitoria]:
 [...]
 > I think, it would be nice to exclude from ffmpeg's command syntax the
 '%' symbol, because it used by command shell.

 All you need to do is to escape your '%' symbol properly if that symbol is
 to be used by the program invoked and not meant to be handled by the
 shell.

 In your case escape % with % and type: "photo%%03d.jpg".
