fmfconv(1) Emulators fmfconv(1) NAME fmfconv -- Fuse Movie File converter SYNOPSIS fmfconv [options] [infile [outfile [soundfile]]] DESCRIPTION fmfconv is a Fuse Movie File converter. It can read .fmf files produced by Fuse ZX Spectrum emulator and write audio files, video files or sequences of images in a variety of popular formats. It can also stream data to ex- ternal tools through a pipe, so you can get virtually any possible format (see EXAMPLES). fmfconv has built-in support for AIFF, AU and WAV sound formats, PPM and SCR image formats, AVI and YUV4MPEG2 video formats. Supports PNG and JPEG/MJPEG formats internally if libpng and libjpeg are available respec- tively. OPTIONS General options: -h --help Give brief usage help, listing available options. --info Scan input file(s) and print information. -i filename --input filename Input file. -o filename --output filename Output file. -y --overwrite Force overwrite of existing output file(s). -g form --progress form Show progress, where `form' is one of `%', `bar', `frame' or `time'. frame and time are similar to bar and show movie seconds or frame number as well. -q --quiet Decrease the verbosity level by one. -v --verbose Increase the verbosity level by one. -V --version Print the version number and exit. Audio options: --aifc Force AIFF-C output if sound format is AIFF. -m --aiff Save sound to Apple Computer audio (aiff/aiff-c) file. -u --au Save sound to Sun Audio (au) file. --mono Convert sound to mono (by default sound is converted to stereo). --raw-sound Do not convert sound to 16-bit signed PCM and STEREO or MONO. This is an advanced option. If stereo/mono or audio encoding change through `fmf' file, your sound will be crappy. -s filename --sound filename Output sound file. --sound-only Process only the sound from an `fmf' file. -E rate --srate rate Resample audio to `rate' sampling rate where `rate' is `cd' for 44100 Hz or `dat' for 48000 Hz or a number (`cd' and `dat' set `stereo' as well). -w --wav Save sound to Waveform Audio (wav) file. Video/image options: --avi Save video as AVI format with built-in AVI encoder. If fmfconv sup- ports jpeg files, encode video as M-JPEG and audio as S16_LE PCM. If output is not a file (stdout or redirected) then fmfconv encode video as uncompressed BGR24 DIB frames (see --avi-mjpeg and --avi-uncompr). -f timing --frate timing Set output frame rate. `timing' is `pal', `ntsc', `movie' or a num- ber with maximum 3 digit after decimal point, or a #/# (e.g.: -f 29.97 or -f 30000/1001). For video output formats (AVI/MJPEG/YUV4MPEG2) fmfconv set frame rate to 25 fps (PAL timing). If you want to keep the original frame rate use `raw' timing. -C cut --out-cut cut Leave out the comma delimited `cut' ranges e.g.: 100-200,300,500,1:11-2:22 cut the frames 100-200, 300, 500 and frames from 1 min 11 sec to 2 min 22 sec (in the given timing see: -f/--frate). -P --ppm Save video as PPM screenshots. -S --scr Save video as SCR screenshots. -Y --yuv Save video as yuv4mpeg2. --yuv-format frm Set yuv4mpeg2 file frame format to `frm', where `frm' is one of `444', `422', `420j', `420m', `420' or `410'. The following options are available when PNG files are supported: --greyscale Save greyscale images. -G --png Save video frames as PNG screenshots. --png-compress level Set compression level from a range 0-9, or `none', `fast', `best'. --progressive Save progressive (interlaced) PNG files. The following options are available when JPEG files are supported: --avi-mjpeg Force the use of M-JPEG AVI frames (lossy). --avi-uncompr Force the use of uncompressed BGR24 AVI frames. This format does not produce compression artifacts but the file size is bigger. It is a good choice if you want to process the video with an external tool. --greyscale Save greyscale images or convert video frames. -J --jpeg Save video frames as JPEG screenshots. --jpeg-fast Use faster, less accurate integer method for DCT compression. --jpeg-float Use floating-point method for DCT compression. --jpeg-optimize Compute optimal Huffman coding tables for the image. -Q --jpeg-quality q Set jpeg quality from a range 0-100. --jpeg-smooth factor Set jpeg smoothing factor from a range 0-100. -M --mjpeg Save video as raw M-JPEG file (abbreviated JPEG stream). --progressive Save progressive (interlaced) JPEG files. EXAMPLES Some of the following examples use ffmpeg(1) as an external tool for doing the final conversion. In some distributions avconv(1) is available, which accepts the same parameters.
