Ffmpeg doesn't understand pattern, like "photo*.jpg" and syntax like "photo%03d.jpg"

[amitoria]

1. I am trying to create video from *.jpg
2. a)Ffmpeg doesn't understand pattern, like "photo*.jpg"

b)Ffmpeg doesn't understand syntax like "photo%03d.jpg"

3. I used the following commads:

a)ffmpeg -f image2 -y -i "photo*.jpg" -r 0.5 -s 640x480 foo.avi
b)ffmpeg -f image2 -y -i "photo%03d.jpg" -r 0.5 -s 640x480 foo.avi
At the same folder I placed photos(with names photoA.jpg, photoB.jpg, photoC.jpg, photo001, photo002, photo003 and like that).

4. Batch file's name is batfile.bat. Command: ffmpeg -v 9 -loglevel 99 -f image2 -y -i "photo%03d.jpg" -r 0.5 -s 640x480 foo.avi.

4. Batch file's name is batfile.bat. Command: ffmpeg -v 9 -loglevel 99 -f image2 -y -i "photo%03d.jpg" -r 0.5 -s 640x480 foo.avi.

Reading option '-i' ... matched as input file with argument 'photoE:\copy_result\bug\batfile.bat3d.jpg'.

These look like you're pasting the wrong command line parameter to the call of ffmpeg in your .bat file. This looks like you're using $0 instead of $1 or something similar. Please check.

If this is not the case, attach your .bat file to this bug report.

And with "you're pasting" I mean, your shell seems to paste for you before ffmpeg is even called... looks like windows uses "%03"?

When I write %1 instead %0, command line correctly sends options to ffmpeg, but I can't use % in that options second time. For "photo%13d.jpg" ffmpeg writes that:
[image2 @ 02957800] Could find no file with path 'photo3d.jpg' and index in the
range 0-4
photo3d.jpg: No such file or directory

For bug report I use example from official doc-s (at bottom of ​http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html page).
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".
