Why am I getting this warning and how to fix it? Essentially, I want to convert a video to a jpg every 4th frame with the same resolution as original video.

[jalal@goku vid2]$ ffmpeg -i debate_vid2.mov -r 0.25 images_%08d.jpg

This is just a warning, not an error. You can safely ignore it.

PS: Your ffmpeg version is quite outdated – it's almost two years old. It won't hurt to update to a newer one.
