in the specified directory.
OPTIONS
[-o <Output directory>]

specified, the current directory is used.
[-t <Seconds per picture>]
Number of seconds to display each picture in the movie.

Number of seconds to crossfade between images. One second is
usually fine. Note that this will increase the processing time

Number of seconds to wipe between images. One second is usually
fine. Pick either crossfade or wipe, but not both.

display the path and filename as the subtitle.

filename" to display filename as the subtitle. Use "-s path" to
