not enough pixel data

[jmr_magick]

Tried to convert an .avi file to .gif using using IM 6.2.8

-convert -delay 1 5884.avi tensilebar.gif

received errors
convert: Not enough pixel data '5884.avi'
convert: missing image filename 'tensilebar.gif'

I would like to avoid obtaining another piece of software to split .avi into .jpg's.

Is there anything I can do with my IM version? Does anyone know if this issue has been resolved in that latest IM version 5.x.x

Thanks!

IM version 5.x.x

This is so old, it is not likely to work well. You really need to upgrade to the latest IM 6.6.0-4
