Error trying to convert png to mpeg

Hello,
I have been using ImageMagick in combination with FFMPEG for quite some time. However, after setting up a new computer with Suse 11.3 (64 bit), I can't seem to get it to run.
Imagemagick version 6.6.1.0-4.1.1 was installed along with Suse. I later installed FFMPEG version 0.6.25702svn-1.pm.3.8 along with all dependencies from the PackMan respository. There were no errors during the installation of FFMPEG.
However, when trying to convert png pictures with the following command:

Code: Select all

convert bild* movie.mpg
I get the following error:

Code: Select all

convert: delegate failed `"ffmpeg" -v -1 -mbd rd -flags +4mv+aic -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -pass 1/2 -i "%M%%d.jpg" "%u.%m" 2> "%Z"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1061.
I have no idea what could be wrong. Do I need some more packages?

Remove "-flags +4mv+aic" from your delegates.xml configuration file. If it still fails, add -verbose to your command line to ensure your change was picked up by ImageMagick.

Depends on where you installed ImageMagick. Try /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.8//config/delegates.xml.

Is ffmpeg installed? If not, then that's the problem.

I had installed ffmpeg, but it didn't work, until i restarted my computer.
Thank you very much
