NAME
     oggSlideshow - creates slideshows from pictures

SYNOPSIS
     oggSlideshow [options] picture1 [ picture2 [...] ]

DESCRIPTION
     oggSlideshow  creates  a theora video from a number of pictures in JPEG- or
     PNG-format with different visual effects.

OPTIONS
     -s     Sets  the  size  of  the  video  frame.  The  size	 is   given   as
	    <width>x<height> The default size is set to 480x320.

	    Example: -s 320x240

     -f     Sets  the frame rate of the video. This is given by the pictures per
	    second. The default frame rate is 24 pictures per second.

	    Example: -f 16

     -o     Sets the output file name of the created video. The default name  is
	    slideshow.ogv.

	    Example: -o myShow.ogv

     -l     Sets  the presentation time (length) of one picture. So if your have
	    10 pictures and specify a length of 10 seconds,  then  your  overall
	    video length is 1:40 (100 seconds).

	    Example: -l 10

     -d     Sets  the  datarate  in byte per seconds for the video encoder. This
	    more meant to be a upper threshold. So the file may be smaller  than
	    assumed.

	    Example: -d 1024000

     -t     Sets the presentation type, as shown above. Actually types are:

	    kb:
	     Ken Burns effect (default)

	    cf:
	     Picture crossfade for changeover

	    p:
	     Plain picture presentation

	    bl:
	     Bluring at changeover

	    Example: -t p

     -e     Enables  the  reframing. In case a picture does not match the aspect
	    ratio of the video frame, it can be "reframed",  which  means  black
	    borders are inserted. This option is only usefull with the Ken Burns
	    effect (option -t kb). The pictures are automaticaly "reframed" with
	    the other two slideshow types to match the aspect ratio.

	    Example: -e

     -x     Overwrite an existing output file without warning.

     -r     Enables  the  resampling to a certain value. This is really only for
	    experts and may not be available with newer version of oggSlideshow.

	    To understand this option you need some more  internal  information:
	    The  picture is loaded by the gd lib. So the transformation from png
	    or jpeg to a plain RGBA is done here. The second reason for using gd
	    is the great resizing facilities as pictures are often  much  bigger
	    than the video frame. OggSlideshow can handle pictures from 0.5 to 2
	    times  of the video frame width and height best, as it uses a linear
	    pixel interpolation. With the resizing feature of  gd,  oggSlideshow
	    reads  pictures  with a size "near" to the video output size and can
	    then operate with that picture. This produces a  very  good  quality
	    output, as you can see above.

	    The  value	given with this option is the factor the picture is read
	    in in respect of the video frame size. When the video frame size  is
	    320x240 and the resample factor is 1.2 than the picture that is read
	    is	resized  to  384x288. Specially for the ken burns effect this is
	    important as the sliding is done on a picture bigger than the  video
	    frame size.

EXAMPLE
     oggSlideshow  -l3	-tp -d1024000 -s480x320 -o demo-plain.ogv <picture1.jpg>
