(Using 16-bit ImageMagick 6.5.5-7 DLLs on a Windows platform)

I am unable to create an MPEG animation sequence from my PNG images using either convert
(command line "convert Animate.*.png Animate.mpg") or through the MagickWand interface
(calling MagickWriteImage(mw, "Animate.mpg") after adding all the images to the wand mw).

In each case I get error messages such as this on the console output:

not an expert on this, but do you have the ffmpeg delegate installed.

type

convert -list configure

and look at the line starting with DELEGATES and see if it is included.

Fred, as a convenience we include ffmpeg with the ImageMagick Windows distribution. We will take a look at this problem as soon as we get an opportunity and report our findings.

Hello,
Please, I am having the same problem as in above.
I am not able to convert my png files into mpeg movie
I have checked the delegates on my system but I don't have the ffmpeg delegate.What do I do from here please?
Please,let me add that I want to use it within my c++ code that I have written to capture and save those png images.
