How to transform all the images from the current directory to a video in FFmpeg?

Question

I’d like to use FFmpeg to transform all images from the current directory to a video. The image file name is not like, image1.jpg and image2.jpg.

What _do_ the filenames look like, if they don't look like `image1.jpg`, `image2.jpg`, etc..? — sarnold, Sep 14 '11 at 22:08

You can use the following to add all images with a jpg extension to an mp4 video

ffmpeg -framerate 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' video.mp4

Tried this, got: errors about unable to open fle (name of first jpg in directory), and errors for "Could not find codec parameters for stream 0: unspecified size". I think there's more needed than this (using latest ffmpeg on debian) – Adam Oct 13 '15 at 15:34
When I do this, it says the mp4 file is corrupted.. Any fixes? – Teodorico Levoff Feb 15 '17 at 03:34
