$ vlc some_dir_with_pictures

doesnt work here:
version:: VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower

the error:
"main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `J440'. VLC
probably does not support this sound or video format. Unfortunately
there is no way for you to fix this."
[although i noticed vlc does accept some picture formats (eg JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.2)]

$ file image.jpg:
JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01
was not accepted by vlc

Which version of vlc are u using?

mvg,
Wim
