10
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 se‐
14 quences 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 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.

24 General options:
25 -h
26 --help
27 Give brief usage help, listing available options.
28 --info
30 Scan input file(s) and print information.
31 -i filename
33 --input filename
34 Input file.
35 -o filename
37 --output filename
38 Output file.
39 -y
41 --overwrite
42 Force overwrite of existing output file(s).
43 -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 -q
51 --quiet
52 Decrease the verbosity level by one.
53 -v
55 --verbose
56 Increase the verbosity level by one.
57 -V
59 --version
60 Print the version number and exit.
61 Audio options:
63 --aifc
64 Force AIFF-C output if sound format is AIFF.
65 -m
67 --aiff
68 Save sound to Apple Computer audio (aiff/aiff-c) file.
69 -u
71 --au
72 Save sound to Sun Audio (au) file.
73 --mono
75 Convert sound to mono (by default sound is converted to stereo).
76 --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 -s filename
83 --sound filename
84 Output sound file.
85 --sound-only
87 Process only the sound from an `fmf' file.
88 -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 -w
96 --wav
97 Save sound to Waveform Audio (wav) file.
98 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 -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 -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 -P
124 --ppm
125 Save video as PPM screenshots.
126 -S
128 --scr
129 Save video as SCR screenshots.
130 -Y
132 --yuv
133 Save video as yuv4mpeg2.
134 --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 The following options are available when PNG files are supported:
140 --greyscale
141 Save greyscale images.
142 -G
144 --png
145 Save video frames as PNG screenshots.
146 --png-compress level
148 Set compression level from a range 0–9, or `none', `fast',
149 `best'.
150 --progressive
152 Save progressive (interlaced) PNG files.
153 The following options are available when JPEG files are supported:
155 --avi-mjpeg
156 Force the use of M-JPEG AVI frames (lossy).
157 --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 ex‐
162 ternal tool.
163 --greyscale
165 Save greyscale images or convert video frames.
166 -J
168 --jpeg
169 Save video frames as JPEG screenshots.
170 --jpeg-fast
172 Use faster, less accurate integer method for DCT compression.
173 --jpeg-float
175 Use floating-point method for DCT compression.
176 --jpeg-optimize
178 Compute optimal Huffman coding tables for the image.
179 -Q
181 --jpeg-quality q
182 Set jpeg quality from a range 0–100.
183 --jpeg-smooth factor
185 Set jpeg smoothing factor from a range 0–100.
186 -M
188 --mjpeg
189 Save video as raw M-JPEG file (abbreviated JPEG stream).
190 --progressive
192 Save progressive (interlaced) JPEG files.

195 Some of the following examples use ffmpeg(1) as an external tool for
196 doing the final conversion. In some distributions avconv(1) is avail‐
197 able, which accepts the same parameters.
