mxcl/homebrew — Issue #9486: Creating MPEG with ImageMagick from individual pictures (PNG) fails
Author: akauppi

The command:
```convert some.png some.mpg```

gives this:
```#convert: delegate failed `"ffmpeg" -v -1 -mbd rd -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -pass 1/2 -i "%M%%d.jpg" "%u.%m" 2> "%Z"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1058.```

[Here](http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15983) someone says it's because of linking to an older ffmpeg version than IM would like.

I'm simply reporting this. ImageMagick recipe does not seem to have ffmpeg as a dependency. Nor am I finding it as pre-installed in OS X Lion. So in order of solving this, some more surveying would be needed.

Trying to install brew "ffmpeg" now, to see if that helps, but it seems to run to a different kind of failure.
