Image Sequence File Names Must Begin Close to Zero

[cmarzullo]

In production environments image sequences are often generated with the frame number being based on time code. For example, in a 24 fps timeline, where picture start is at 00:59:52. The fist numbered frame would be fname.086208.dpx ((59*60+52)*24)

In order to use ffmpeg the files would either have to be renamed, linked, or a clever script be written to handle the renumbered sequence.

Looking at the code it appears the img2.c the function find_image_range could be adjusted to better detect image ranges.

Iam pretty sure this is not 0.7 specific

Should be implemented with the "start_number" option now.
