Hmmm. I've got 1.0pre7 which I picked up via rpm.pbone.net for SuSE 9.3.
This looks like pretty much the latest available RPM.

I'm picking mine up direct from the server on my Dlink DCS900 IP camera
using curl.

I was wondering if mencoder was having a 'mare with the ordering of the
jpgs, but by the looks of it, you've done pretty much the same as me,
ensuring the file names are named to create a sensible sort.

I must stop the cron job on my server before it fills up with webcam
images :-)
