I have a folder with about 150 images named IMG_####.JPG with the numbers ranging from 1798 to 1946 and I want to compile them into a high quality video using ffmpeg. I have done this sort of thing before, but I think I'm having issues with my formats. This command, along with many variants, I have tried, but to no avail..
Code:
ffmpeg -start_number 1798 -i IMG_%04d.JPG -framerate 12 timelapse.mp4
I ran the command above with a sequence of images that look like this:

The output, when played through Ubuntu's default video player, looks like this:

But the same file played using the VLC player looked like a super stretched out and pixlized version of the video I was trying to produce, but no that I go to take a screen shot, it just shows an empty frame..... super annoying, I don't understand what is changing here...
I'm not sure why there is such a difference, or why the quality is really bad.... Does anyone know some tips on using ffmpeg in this situation to achieve high quality video?
