Exporting video fails

I've been testing this application on intrepid 64-bit and it doesn't work,

When there is a jpg file in the frame, there is a video output of this frame but all the other picture are dropped..

I have been trying the upstream version too and it doesn't work better then the one in ubuntu.

This program should be able to deal with any file format that it let you import, so we could make a video of png and jpg files.

Since it copy all the files into the same directory it should be able to convert them to a format that the encoder support.

The problem occured on my system, too.
Intrepid 64, I was trying to use some (single-image) gifs to create a movie

I get the following error when trying to export to video with stopmotion 0.6.2-1. I can still export the frames, but no video.

With choice of ffmpeg as encoder and mpeg4 this is the error message:

Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

After installation of mencoder and changing my choice to mpeg2, new error message:

Cannot open demuxer.

I wrote .avi at the end of the name of the file, and tried other extensions, but no way.

My problem with mencoder was due to the extension: JPG instead of jpg. So I added a new configuration for the export:

mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vpass=1:$opt -mf type=jpg:fps=8 -o "$VIDEOFILE" "mf://$IMAGEPATH/*.JPG"

But it doesn't work with FFmpeg, sorry !

Still not compatible with Raspian Jessie Pixel.

mencoder not installable
aconv was missing.

Cannot export video so half of program is useless.
So without working eport

Good getting your kids to use this program on the Raspberry Pi when they cannot export their video.

The original dev forked stopmotion to qStopmotion, so maybe Raspian needs qStopmotion in the Repositories? The dev says the

New qStopmotion doesn't require fiddling with export settings and external encoders.
