.\" Hey, EMACS: -*- nroff -*-
.TH STR2PPM 1 "April 25, 2001"
.SH NAME
str2ppm \- converts the captured video stream to ppm files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B str2ppm
.RI [ options ] " parameter\-file"
.SH DESCRIPTION
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 -
.B str2ppm
- converts the captured video stream to ppm files. When the stream is
being converted, it is restored to the ideal framerate, so dropped
pictures will result in a slightly jerky picture, but no loss of
synchronisation. (A patch against mpeg2encode/decode by the MPEG
Software Simulation Group (MSSG) is also included to allow direct MPEG
encoding from this stream).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -str <output stream x>
write to output stream(s) <output stream x> instead of ppm files.
This option can be used multiple times.
.TP
.B parameter-file
name of parameter file (normally "str2ppm.par").
.SH NOTES
Creates video:<frame number>.ppm files in the current directory! The
filename can be changed by changing the root-name in "str2ppm.par". The
file <root-name>:cliptab must exist.
.BR
When outputting to another stream, make sure you have enough disk space;
no space checking is done! Also, no default cliptabs/parameter files are
created, so you'll have to make your own.
.SH SEE ALSO
