user32370: I'm trying to decode a video into its frames with the following code:
`
Decode the video into 30 fps frames with ffmpeg
  check_call(['ffmpeg', '-i', 'file:'+clip_name+'.mp4', '-vf', 'fps=30', 'frame_%06d.jpg'])

  # Create a directory for this clip
  check_call(['mkdir', '-p', clip_out_dir])

  # Move the results to the output directory
  for jpg in glob.glob('*.jpg'):
    check_call(['mv', jpg, clip_out_dir])`

However, it is not working. How can I fix this? This is the output I get:
