NAME

6       fmfconv — Fuse Movie File converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fmfconv [options] [infile [outfile [soundfile]]]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fmfconv is a Fuse Movie File converter. It can read .fmf files produced
13       by Fuse ZX Spectrum emulator and write  audio  files,  video  files  or
14       sequences of images in a variety of popular formats. It can also stream
15       data to external tools through a pipe, so you  can  get  virtually  any
16       possible format (see EXAMPLES).
17
18       fmfconv  has  built-in  support for AIFF, AU and WAV sound formats, PPM
19       and SCR image formats, AVI and YUV4MPEG2 video  formats.  Supports  PNG
20       and  JPEG/MJPEG  formats internally if libpng and libjpeg are available
21       respectively.

29       --info
30              Scan input file(s) and print information.
31
32       -i filename
33       --input filename
34              Input file.
35

38              Output file.
39
40       -y
41       --overwrite
42              Force overwrite of existing output file(s).
43
44       -g form
45       --progress form
46              Show progress, where `form' is one of  `%',  `bar',  `frame'  or
47              `time'. frame and time are similar to bar and show movie seconds
48              or frame number as well.
49
50       -q
51       --quiet
52              Decrease the verbosity level by one.
53
54       -v
55       --verbose
56              Increase the verbosity level by one.
57
58       -V
59       --version
60              Print the version number and exit.
61
62   Audio options:
63       --aifc
64              Force AIFF-C output if sound format is AIFF.
65
66       -m
67       --aiff
68              Save sound to Apple Computer audio (aiff/aiff-c) file.
69
70       -u
71       --au
72              Save sound to Sun Audio (au) file.
73
74       --mono
75              Convert sound to mono (by default sound is converted to stereo).
76
77       --raw-sound
78              Do not convert sound to 16-bit signed PCM and  STEREO  or  MONO.
79              This  is  an  advanced  option. If stereo/mono or audio encoding
80              change through `fmf' file, your sound will be crappy.
81
82       -s filename
83       --sound filename
84              Output sound file.
85
86       --sound-only
87              Process only the sound from an `fmf' file.
88
89       -E rate
90       --srate rate
91              Resample audio to `rate' sampling rate where `rate' is `cd'  for
92              44100 Hz  or  `dat' for 48000 Hz or a number (`cd' and `dat' set
93              `stereo' as well).
94
95       -w
96       --wav
97              Save sound to Waveform Audio (wav) file.
98
99   Video/image options:
100       --avi
101              Save video as AVI format with built-in AVI encoder.  If  fmfconv
102              supports  jpeg files, encode video as M-JPEG and audio as S16_LE
103              PCM. If output is not a file (stdout or redirected) then fmfconv
104              encode  video  as uncompressed BGR24 DIB frames (see --avi-mjpeg
105              and --avi-uncompr).
106
107       -f timing
108       --frate timing
109              Set output frame rate. `timing' is `pal', `ntsc', `movie'  or  a
110              number with maximum 3 digit after decimal point, or a #/# (e.g.:
111              -f 29.97 or -f 30000/1001).
112              For video output formats (AVI/MJPEG/YUV4MPEG2) fmfconv set frame
113              rate  to  25  fps (PAL timing). If you want to keep the original
114              frame rate use `raw' timing.
115
116       -C cut
117       --out-cut cut
118              Leave   out   the   comma   delimited   `cut'    ranges    e.g.:
119              100-200,300,500,1:11-2:22  cut  the frames 100–200, 300, 500 and
120              frames from 1 min 11 sec to 2 min 22 sec (in  the  given  timing
121              see: -f/--frate).
122
123       -P
124       --ppm
125              Save video as PPM screenshots.
126
127       -S
128       --scr
129              Save video as SCR screenshots.
130
131       -Y
132       --yuv
133              Save video as yuv4mpeg2.
134
135       --yuv-format frm
136              Set  yuv4mpeg2 file frame format to `frm', where `frm' is one of
137              `444', `422', `420j', `420m', `420' or `410'.
138
139   The following options are available when PNG files are supported:
140       --greyscale
141              Save greyscale images.
142
143       -G
144       --png
145              Save video frames as PNG screenshots.
146
147       --png-compress level
148              Set compression level from  a  range  0–9,  or  `none',  `fast',
149              `best'.
150
151       --progressive
152              Save progressive (interlaced) PNG files.
153
154   The following options are available when JPEG files are supported:
155       --avi-mjpeg
156              Force the use of M-JPEG AVI frames (lossy).
157
158       --avi-uncompr
159              Force the use of uncompressed BGR24 AVI frames. This format does
160              not produce compression artifacts but the file size  is  bigger.
161              It  is  a  good  choice if you want to process the video with an
162              external tool.
163
164       --greyscale
165              Save greyscale images or convert video frames.
166
167       -J
168       --jpeg
169              Save video frames as JPEG screenshots.
170
171       --jpeg-fast
172              Use faster, less accurate integer method for DCT compression.
173
174       --jpeg-float
175              Use floating-point method for DCT compression.
176
177       --jpeg-optimize
178              Compute optimal Huffman coding tables for the image.
179
180       -Q
181       --jpeg-quality q
182              Set jpeg quality from a range 0–100.
183
184       --jpeg-smooth factor
185              Set jpeg smoothing factor from a range 0–100.
186
187       -M
188       --mjpeg
189              Save video as raw M-JPEG file (abbreviated JPEG stream).
190
191       --progressive
192              Save progressive (interlaced) JPEG files.

196       doing  the  final conversion. In some distributions avconv(1) is avail‐
197       able, which accepts the same parameters.
