pgmtoy4m(1)		       MJPEG tools manual		     pgmtoy4m(1)

NAME
     pgmtoy4m - Convert mpeg2dec pgm and pgmpipe output to YUV4MPEG2

SYNOPSIS
     pgmtoy4m [options]

DESCRIPTION
     pgmtoy4m  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 sample 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.

OPTIONS
     pgmtoy4m 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!
