pgmtoy4m(1) MJPEG tools manual pgmtoy4m(1)NAMEpgmtoy4m - Convert mpeg2dec pgm and pgmpipe output to YUV4MPEG2
SYNOPSISpgmtoy4m [options]
DESCRIPTIONpgmtoy4m repacks the PGM output from mpeg2dec into YUV4MPEG2 4:2:0p.
No actual changes to the data are made. The data is unpacked from the
quasi-PGM format and placed in YUV4MPEG2 format with the specified sam‐
ple aspect, frame rate and field order. Output must be either to a
pipe or a file, leaving stdout as a terminal will elicit an error and
the program will exit.
OPTIONSpgmtoy4m accepts the following options:
-v num
Set verbosity level. (default: 0)
-h Print a usage summary and exit.
-i t|b|p
Set the interlacing mode. Top field first (t), bottom field first
(b) or progressive/none (p). (default: t)
-a sar
Set the sample aspect ratio. (default: 10:11)
-r frame rate
Set the frame rate. (default: 30000:1001)
EXAMPLES
mpeg2dec -s -o pgmpipe file.mpg | pgmtoy4m-a 10:11 -r 24000:1001 -i b | yuvplay
mpeg2dec -s -o pgm file.mpg
cat *.pgm | pgmtoy4m-r 30000:1001 -i t | yuvplay
NOTES
This program is specifically designed to work with the output of
mpeg2dec and is NOT a general PGM (NetPBM) tool!
From the introduction in the source file:
* Note: mpeg2dec uses a variation of the PGM format - they're really not
* "Grey Maps" but rather a catenation of the 420P data (commonly called
* "YUV"). The type is P5 ("raw") and the number of rows is really
* the total of the Y', Cb and Cr heights. The Cb and Cr data is "joined"
* together. After the Y' rows you have 1 row of Cb and 1 row of Cr per
* "row" of PGM data.
* NOTE: You MAY need to know the field order (top/bottom field first),
* sample aspect ratio and frame rate because the PGM format makes
* none of that information available!
