NAME
     dir2slideshow  - Creates an input file for dvd-slideshow from pictures in a
     directory.

SYNOPSIS
     dir2slideshow [-o	<output  directory>]  [-t  <Seconds  per  picture>]  [-c
     <Crossfade  seconds>]  -n	<Slideshow  name>  [-T]  [-M] [-s subtitle_text]
     [-notitle] <Images directory>

DESCRIPTION
     Creates a input file for dvd-slideshow from all the JPEG images in a  given
     directory.   Now  it  reads  all .jpg .JPG .jpeg .png and .PNG files in the
     specified directory.

OPTIONS
     <Images directory>
	    The path to the directory containing the images you want to use.

     -n <Slideshow name>
	    The name of this slideshow.  This name is used as the default  title
	    text  for  the first title slide in the slideshow. This name will be
	    used for the output file name.

     [-t <Seconds per picture>]
	    Number of seconds to display each picture in the movie.  Defaults to
	    5 seconds if not specified.

     [-o <Output directory>]
	    Directory where the output file will be written.  If not  specified,
	    the current directory is used.

     [-c <Crossfade seconds>]
	    Number of seconds to crossfade between images. One second is usually
	    fine.   Note  that	this  will  increase the processing time, but it
	    looks nice.

     [-w <Wipe seconds>]
	    Number of seconds to wipe between  images.	One  second  is  usually
	    fine.  Pick either crossfade or wipe, but not both.

     [-T]   Sort  images by the JPEG header picture taken time, then by the file
	    modification date, and finally by the filename. Default sort  is  by
	    name only. Requires the jhead program.

     [-M]   Sort images by the file modification date, and then by the filename.
	    Default sort if by name only.

     [-s subtitle_text]
	    Add  default subtitle "subtitle_text" to every slide.  Use "-s file-
	    name" to display filename as the subtitle.	Use "-s path" to display
	    the path and filename as the subtitle.

     [-s2 subtitle_text]
	    Same as -s but adds subtitles to subtitle track 2.

     [-b background.jpg]
	    Use background.jpg as the background images.  Default is black.

     [-notitle]
	    Do not create a title slide.

     [-r]   Recursively search directories for images, creating one output file.

     [-k]   Apply random kenburns effects to images. (use of this is discouraged
	    because encoding takes so long)

     [-p]   Use PAL output video format instead of NTSC

     [-theme themename]
	    Use themename as a theme file.  See theme help files for more  info.
	    (TBD)

     [-a audiofile1,audiofile2,...]
	    Add  audio files to the slideshow. Files will be played sequentially
	    for the duration of the slideshow.	Use quotes if you have spaces in
	    filenames.

     [-q]   Quiet mode: outputs less screen output.
