NAME

       yuvplay - Display YUV4MPEG2 streams (using SDL)

SYNOPSIS

       yuvplay [options]

DESCRIPTION

       yuvplay	produces  on-screen  playback  of  a  YUV4MPEG2  stream  which	is  provided to stdin, typically through piping from the stdout of
       lavpipe(1), lav2yuv(1), mpeg2dec(1) or a similar program.  It should be noted that for pure playback lavplay should be a  superior  option.
       yuvplay is intended primarily as a debugging or diagnostic utility when setting up video processing pipelines.

OPTIONS

       yuvplay accepts the following options:

       -s WxH  The  size  of  the SDL window.  By default, it uses the size of the input video stream scaled to yield 1:1 pixels (using the sample
	       aspect ratio encoded in the stream header).  However, you can specify any size you want.  WxH is the width x height of  the  scaled
	       window.

       -ttitle Set the window title.

       -f num  Override the framerate specified in the input stream header.

       -c      By  default, yuvplay will try to play at the framerate of the input movie.  With this option, yuvplay will just play all the frames
	       as fast as it can.

       -v [0,1,2]
	       Set the verbosity of user feedback.  Default is "1":  errors, warnings, and info messages.

NAME

       ppmtoy4m - Convert PPM images to YUV4MPEG2 stream

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtoy4m [options] [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       ppmtoy4m converts one or more raw PPM images into a YUV4MPEG2 stream ready for further processing by other video tools.

       Output is to stdout to facilitate piping to other MJPEG tools.  The size of the output frame(s) is determined from the (first) input image.

       Input  is  a 'raw' format PPM image, read from stdin or from the optional filename.  The input may contain multiple PPM images concatenated
       together; ppmtoy4m will read and process them sequentially.  All images must have identical size and format.  Input images  can	be  inter-
       preted  as whole progressive frames, interleaved fields, or (in pairs) as sequential fields.  The input images must have 8 bits per channel
       (i.e. 'maxval' must be 255).

       Input images should be in the usual R'G'B' colorspace.  They are converted to the Y'CbCr colorspace (ITU-R BT.601) (and chroma  subsampled,
       if desired) before output.

       ppmtoy4m and y4mtoppm are inverses of each other; you can pipe the output of one into the other, and vice-versa.  Note that the subsampling
       and colorspace 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

       ppmtoy4m accepts the following options:

       -o num
	    Frame offset:  skip output of the first 'num' frames.  (default: 0)

       -n num
	    Output a total of 'num' output frames.  Use '0' to specify all frames.  (default: 0)

       -F n:d
	    Set framerate encoded in output stream, as an exact integer ratio.	(default:  30000:1001)	Common rates are:
	     24000:1001 - NTSC 3:2 pulldown converted film
		   24:1 - native film
		   25:1 - PAL/SECAM
	     30000:1001 - NTSC video
		   50:1 - PAL field rate
	     60000:1001 - NTSC field rate

       -A n:d
	    Set pixel aspect ratio encoded in output stream, as an exact integer ratio.  (default:  1:1)  Common ratios are:
		 1:1  - square pixels (computer graphics)
		10:11 - CCIR-601 NTSC
		59:54 - CCIR-601 PAL

       -B   Interpret data as being BGR rather than RGB.

       -I x Set interlacing mode, used to interpret the PPM image(s), and also encoded in output stream.  (default:  'p')
	     p - progressive, non-interlaced
	     t - top/upper-field-first interlaced
	     b - bottom/lower-field-first interlaced

       -L   For  interlaced  streams, treat each PPM image as two interleaved fields.  (Otherwise, two PPM images will be read for each frame; one
	    per field.)

       -r   Repeat last input frame until output is complete.  If '-n 0' is also specified, last input frame will be repeated forever.

       -S mode
	    Set chroma subsampling mode.  (default:  444)
		   444 - 4:4:4 (no subsampling)
	       420jpeg - 4:2:0 JPEG/MPEG-1, interstitial cositing
	      420mpeg2 - 4:2:0 MPEG-2, horizontal cositing

	    The subsampled modes use a lousy subsampling filter; better results will be achieved by passing the default 4:4:4 output to  a  scaler
	    which supports subsampling, such as y4mscaler(1).

       -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 convert a file containing a single PPM file into a stream of 15 (identical) frames:

	    ppmtoy4m -n 15 -r some-image.ppm

       To convert a series of Targa format images (in the current directory) to a YUV4MPEG2 stream displayed by yuvplay:

	    ls *.tga | xargs -n1 tgatoppm | ppmtoy4m | yuvplay
