FFMPEG: create movie from timestamped images - bash

Question

Im trying to make a small movie file from a folder with webcam images.
They are named like this:
00-00-38.jpg
00-05-37.jpg
00-10-37.jpg
00-15-37.jpg
H-M-S.jpg format
Although i tried patterntype glob and simpler commands i cannot get it to work.
This is what i tried:
ffmpeg -r 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -scale=720:-1 -c:v libx264 out.mp4
(got only one image)
ffmpeg -r 25 -i *.jpg -vf "scale=720:-1" output.mp4
(same size as a jpg file but no video)
Console output:
ffmpeg -framerate 1 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -vf scale=720:-1 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4

Answer 1

Try this:
ffmpeg -framerate 1 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -vf scale=720:-1 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
If that doesn't work for you, include the exact command you used and the full console output indicating what is wrong.

Answer 2

I've always done something along the lines of:
a=0
for i in *.jpg; do
new=$(printf "/home/Movies/jpgs/%04d.jpg" "$a")
cp -f "$i" "$new"
let a=a+1
done
to get the files in the right order, anything else breaks the encoding as soon as the input numbers are non-monotonic.
