- Short : Creates a QuickTime-Movie with many JPEGs in it (+GUI)
- Uploader : ALeX Kazik <alex@kazik.de>
- Author : ALeX Kazik <alex@kazik.de>
- Type : gfx/conv
- Version : 2.1
- Requires : 68020+, AmigaOS 2.04? (Tested: 3.x)
-
-
- News:
- =====
-
- It has an own GUI!
- Support of sound and more picture types.
-
-
- Overview:
- =========
-
- This litte tool allows you to create a QT-MOV from many pictures.
- You can directly save a MovieShop project to a MOV, for example.
-
- All pictures must have the same size.
- The pictures will be stored in the MOV without any changes.
-
- Supported picture types:
- -JPEG, 8bit greyscale
- -JPEG, 24bit color
- -PNM: pgm, 8bit greyscale, format P5
- -PNM: ppm, 24bit color, format P6
-
- Supported sound types:
- -AIFF, 1-16bits, 100Hz-65kHz, 1/2 Channels
-
- Such movies will be very big, if You're using PNM, or it won't be
- playable on the most computers, if You're using JPEG. So just take the
- movie, use an (emulated) Macintosh and e.g. the shareware program
- "DesktopMovieFat" to recompress the movie!!
-
- URL: ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/macintosh/leo/quicktime/desktop-movie-150.sit
-
- It is also possible to use QuickTime3 (Registred) on an Mac or PC to Recompress
- any Movie. URL: http://quicktime.apple.com/
-
-
- Usage:
- ======
-
- There are two ways to use JPEG2MOV.
- -The Command Line Interface (CLI)
- -The Graphical User Interface (GUI)
-
-
- GUI-Usage:
- ==========
-
- The GUI requires MUI 3.x (tested 3.8)!
-
- Just start JPEG2MOV from WorkBench, or from CLI with "gui" as the only parameter.
-
- I hope that the GUI is self explainend.
-
- For general help, read the CLI section.
-
- The CLI-Version is more powerful!
-
-
- CLI-Usage:
- ==========
-
- JPEG2MOV FROM,TO/A,START/N,MAXFRAMES/K/N,
- SCALEWIDTH=SW/K/N,SCALEHEIGHT=SH/K/N,
- CROPWIDTH=CW/K/N,CROPHEIGHT=CH/K/N,CROPTOP=CT/K/N,CROPLEFT=CL/K/N,
- ORIGFPS=OLDFPS/K/N,FPS=NEWFPS/K/N,SEQUENCE=SEQ/K,TIMESCALE/K/N,SPEED/K/N,
- SOUNDFILE=SND/K,SETFREQ/K/N,
- READALL/S/K,INFO/S
-
-
- Required Options:
- -----------------
-
- TO/A = The movie that should be build. An existing file will be overwitten!
-
- And you have to specify video and/or sound.
-
-
- Optional Parameters:
- --------------------
-
- INFO/S = Just show information about the movie, which will be created,
- but don't do it.
-
-
- Video:
- ======
-
- Required Options:
- -----------------
-
- FROM/A = The path and name of the pictures. There are two methods:
- -Specify an ANSI-C-type-form-string for the pictures,
- e.g. "JP:pic.%04d.jpeg" (only if you know what you do!!)
- -Specify the first picture: e.g. "JP:pic.0012.jpeg", the program
- will automatically convert it to the other format and extract the
- first picure.
-
- To specify the speed of the movie (FPS) You have many options.
- If the stored pictures have the same speed like the movie, just specify
- one of this options:
-
- ORIGFPS=OLDFPS/K/N = The FramesPerSecond of the images.
- NEWFPS=FPS/K/N = The FramesPerSecond of the movie.
- TIMESCALE/K/N,SPEED/K/N = TIMESCALE divides one second into units.
- SPEED is how long an picture should be displayd
- (measured in units). Example: TIMESCALE=600,
- SPEED=10 -> FPS=TIMESCALE/SPEED=60
-
- If the original and the new FPS-rates are different, You have some
- methods to do that.
- The skipped pictures won't be stored in the movie.
-
- SEQUENCE=SEQ/K = An text which specifies, which picture should be picked "P"
- (stored in the movie) or skipped "S".
-
- Now You can do some combinations:
- -ORIGFPS and NEWFPS
- -ORIGFPS and SEQUENCE
- -NEWFPS and SEQUENCE
- -TIMESCALE+SPEED and SEQUENCE
-
- Tip: switch on INFO an play a little bit with this options.
-
-
- Optional Parameters:
- --------------------
-
- START/N = Specifies the first picture. It defaults to the number, which will
- be extracted from the FROM-Option - if there is a number in it -
- or 1.
-
- MAXFRAMES/K/N = Maximum numbers of frames to read/skip. (If Your orig and new
- FPS-Rate are equal, this means also the numbers of written frames)
-
- READALL/S/K = Force to read all pictures, even if there skipped.
- This option is essential, if you've stored the pics a PIPE
- and only want to read some of the pictures.
-
- Note: If some programms (e.g. MovieShop) don't allow to store to PIPE: (cause
- it's no filesystem), get the "PipeHandler.lha" from AmiNet.
-
-
- Scale / Crop-Options:
- ---------------------
-
- The program does NOT change the JPEGs, it will only set the needed options
- in the movie, that tell good QT-Programs that the movie should be shown
- scaled/cropped.
- QT and CyberQT do not support them at all. The Windows QT-Player supports
- scaling.
- All Mac programs support both!
-
- SCALEWIDTH=SW/K/N,SCALEHEIGHT=SH/K/N = The size of the scaled picture.
- (default: original picture)
-
- The picture will be first scaled, than cropped.
-
- CROPWIDTH=CW/K/N,CROPHEIGHT=CH/K/N = The size of the cropped picture.
- (default: scaled picture)
-
- CROPTOP=CT/K/N,CROPLEFT=CL/K/N = The offset to the left-top-edge of the
- cropped picture. (default: the picture will
- be centered)
-
-
- Audio:
- ======
-
- Required Options:
- -----------------
-
- SOUNDFILE=SND/K = The soundfile.
-
-
- Optional Parameters:
- --------------------
-
- SETFREQ/K/N = If Your soundfile e.g. have the frequency 40099 but You're knowing
- that that is an error, You can change the rate with this option to
- 44100 (or any other freq.).
-
- Note: The sample will not be resampled, only the signature will be changed.
-
-
- Thats all, have fun!!
