ffmpeg - list of pictures as input file ?

[mehdi0016]

hi
i need to know does it possible to use a list of pictures as input file in ffmpeg, just like mencoder :
mencoder mf://@list.txt...
i don't want to rename all pictures like img001.jpg, img002.jpg, ..., also the pictures maybe in different folders.
i use ffmpeg in winxp sp2.
thanks.

Hmm... this certainly is a tuffy. especially with different folders. The only way that I can think of remotely achieving what you desire is using some kind of recursive directory searching. However, it would be way faster if you used a renaming program (yes they exist, you can rename thousands of files in seconds if you so desire), and then just putting all files in one directory, and then feeding your program from there, either through Avisynth or some other way.

Well, windows is severely limited when it comes to scripting capabilities in comparison to linux. Honestly, I wouldn't even recommend trying. I honestly think that the solution I posted earlier may be your fastest option.
