ppm2str1

Converts the ppm files to video streams

Usage

ppm2str filename maxframe

Overview

Vstream is a collection of utilities for capturing reasonably high quality video from a v4l device (specifically configured for bttv). A simultaneous audio track is also captured.

This utility - ppm2str - converts the ppm files to video streams.

Options

filename

input filename in fprintf format eg: ovl:%03d (NOTE: no .ppm at the end, this gets appended automatically, the : must be ther - this denotes root filename).

maxframe

the maximum frame number.

Notes

From the above example: ovl:000.ppm and ovl:<maxframe>.ppm must exist, others are not necessary, the highest existing frame number is fetched for editing. eg: if only frame 0 and frame <maxframe> exist, then frame 0 to frame <maxframe-1> will be frame 0, anf frame <maxframe> will be frame<maxframe>...
