The video MPEG output file is './0vid.mpg'.
The output file is not created.

All those tools are part of mjpegtools which can't be supplied with
Fedora due to patent concerns. The real only way to handle this would be
to split kipi-plugins into a Free package and a non-free package, and
have some other repo host the non-free part.
