[Python] Saving file to jpg format

I'm reading a folder with different image types and if they are not in the jpeg format then to save them in this format.

But when I try to save them in this format I get an IOError. I've confirmed that I am reading the file contents ok:

I'm trying to do this using the PIL library. This is the code:

folder = os.listdir("C:\***\***\***\\abc")
for infile in folder:
f,e = os.path.splitext(infile)
newFile = f + ".jpg"
if infile != newFile:
try:
Image.open(infile).save(newFile)
print "DONE"
except IOError:
print "Cannot convert file", infile
else:
print "File: " + f + " is in jpg format"


Checking output here

folder= os.listdir("C:\***\***\***\\abc")
print folder
for infile in folder:
print infile


Currently I get the error message:

Image.open(infile).save(newFile)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1952, in open
fp = __builtin__.open(fp, "rb")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'empire.bmp'


This is pretty much the code from the resource at: http://effbot.org/imagingbook /introduction.htm
