This demuxer reads from a list of image files specified by a pattern.
The filename of each file to read must contain a sequential number,
which specifies the position of the file in the sequence.
The pattern must contain the string "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", which
specifies the position of the characters representing the seqential
The pattern may contain the string "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", which
specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential
number in each filename matched by the pattern. If the form
"%d0@var{N}d" is used, the string representing the number in each
filename is 0-padded and @var{N} is the total number of 0-padded
digits representing the number. The literal character '%' can be
specified in the pattern with the string "%%".
The first filename of the file sequence specified by the pattern must
contain a number inclusively contained between 0 and 4, all the
following numbers must be sequential.
If the pattern contains "%d" or "%0@var{N}d", the first filename of
the file list specified by the pattern must contain a number
inclusively contained between 0 and 4, all the following numbers must
be sequential. This limitation may be hopefully fixed.
The pattern may contain a suffix which is used to automatically
determine the format of the images contained in the files.

Note that the pattern must not necessarily contain "%d" or
"%0@var{N}d", for example to convert a single image file
@file{img.jpeg} you can employ the command:

ffmpeg -f image2 -i img.jpeg img.png
