lavtrans(1) MJPEG tools manual lavtrans(1)NAME
lavtrans - Convert MJPEG videos to other MJPEG video formats
SYNOPSIS
lavtrans -o outputfile -f a|q|i|w [-i num] lavfile1 [lavfile2 ... lavfileN]
DESCRIPTION
lavtrans can be used to convert the recorded videos from one MJPEG "container" format to another one. It can also be used to split the
streams, or do destructive edits.
Like all the other mjpegtools(1) lavtrans also accept a edit list file in place of actual video files. This allows it to be used to con-
struct a stand-alone copy of the editted video sequence described in the editlist.
Note that lavtrans can only change the container type of MJPEG video, not the format. As such it is not possible to use it combine streams
of different format.
OPTIONS
lavtrans accepts the following options:
-f [a|q|m|i|w]
Specifies the output format that should be saved.
a - output to AVI file
q - output to Qicktime file
i - output single JPEG images,
w - output WAV file (sound only!)
-i num
Convert a single frame to a JPEG file.
-o outputfile
Specifies the name of the output file If you want as output single JPEG images the output file string must be a valid format string
filename
Multiple filenames as input are acceped, also mixing of edit list files and other in video files.
BUGS
There seem to be problems with the transoding of large Quicktime movies. One other thing is that with interlaced movies only one field is
extracted. So you get pictures with the full horizontal size and half vertical size.

y4mtoppm - Convert YUV4MPEG2 stream to PPM images
SYNOPSIS
y4mtoppm [options]
DESCRIPTION
y4mtoppm converts a YUV4MPEG2 stream into a sequence of raw PPM images.
Output is to stdout (but feel free to have the shell redirect to a file).
Input is read from stdin, like all other YUV4MPEG2 filters and tools. YUV4MPEG2 streams contain frames using the Y'CbCr colorspace (ITU-R
BT.601). y4mtoppm will convert each pixel to the usual R'G'B' colorspace used for computer graphics.
YUV4MPEG2 streams may (often!) have subsampled chroma planes. y4mtoppm can upsample "4:2:0 JPEG" streams using a simple, lousy algorithm.
Better results will be obtained using a filters such as y4mscaler(1) which are capable of general-purpose subsampling operations. y4mtoppm
will fail on streams which have chroma subsampling modes other than 4:4:4 or 4:2:0-JPEG.
For interlaced streams, these operations are performed on each field individually. Fields can be output as separate PPM images in time-
order (default), or interleaved into full-frame images.
If multiple PPM images are generated, they are simply output one after another. If you want to turn such a "multi-image" PPM stream/file
into individual files, use pnmsplit. (Some PNM filters can process multi-image files/streams; however, many written before June 2000 will
only process the first image.)
y4mtoppm and ppmtoy4m are inverses of each other; you can pipe the output of one into the other, and vice-versa. Note that the colorspace
(and subsampling) operations are lossy in both directions. And, when converting to PPM, information on interlacing and sample aspect ratio
is lost (but can be reconstructed by supplying command-line arguments to ppmtoy4m).
OPTIONS
y4mtoppm accepts the following options:
-L For interlaced streams, output a single PPM image for each frame, containing two interleaved fields. (Otherwise, two PPM images will
be generated for each frame; one per field.)
-v [0,1,2]
Set verbosity level.
0 = warnings and errors only.
1 = add informative messages, too.
2 = add chatty debugging message, too.
EXAMPLES
To turn the first 15 frames of an (MJPEG or DV) AVI file into individual PPM files:
lav2yuv -f 15 your-video.avi | y4mtoppm | pnmsplit - "your-video-%d.ppm"
