It's possibly, event if is very unlikely, that's a fedora-specific
issue; I still lacks a fedora installation here, so I can't check
how transcode behaves on such platform.

OK, there is a couple of things to try. First, try the above command
using a single file, *and* possibly using a well-understood file format
like AVI:
$ transcode -o snapshot -y ppm,null -x ffmpeg,null -i file.mpg -c 2-3
$ transcode -o snapshot -y ppm,null -x ffmpeg,null -i file.avi -c 2-3
And see if either commands ends correctly and produce correct snapshot.
They of course are supposed to do so ;)
If one of above commands fails, please report here the situation.
Otherwise, let's see if you're ran into the Vicious Directory Mode bug[1]:
$ transcode -x vob,null -i /some/dir/with/multiple/files/
Please report if this commands ends succesfully: it may take some time
since it's supposed to read all frames of all files contained in given
inpout directory, without doing anything else.
best regards,

[1] A *really* annoying known bug, I know perfectly. Still not fixed.
It has a pretty high priority on my TODO list (see hp below),
and I have some ideas on how to fix it, but isn't trivial to fix.
*properly*.
