I think in my case (i tried ffmpeg/bmp seq) Cin just created bmps instead
of dpx!

for scripting..

I first

 cp dpx%6d.dpx dpx.dpxs
(copied cingg's header/toc into new file)

then

 ls *.dpx > dpx.list
(will list all dpx files in current dir including cingg's header/toc one)

then

cat dpx.list >> dpx.dpxs
(glue two files together)
then

sed  '/%d*/d' -i dpx.dpxs
(remove cin-gg's header/toc file from resulting file in-place)

but because dpx really bmp in my case it failed to work...
