Thank,

I have a backup of the framsets, so no panic. :)

But then why is asking to overwrite? Why does the ffmpeg try to 
overwrite? Here the command without "-y":

mcll at mcllserver-i3:/home/VVCam$ ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i 
000_Images/2022/04/2022-04-10/*.jpeg -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -crf 
20 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
