Short : Creates a QuickTime-Movie with many JPEGs in it Uploader : ALeX Kazik Author : ALeX Kazik Type : gfx/conv Version : 1.0 This litte tool allows you to create a QT-MOV from many JPEGs. You can directly save a MovieShop project to a MOV, for example. All pictures must be JPEGs and must have the same size. The JPEGs will be stored in the MOV without any changes. The movie will have no sound track (JPEG2MOV cannot integrate one) and only a few computers will be able to play it in realtime. So just take the movie and a sound file, use an (emulated) Macintosh and e.g. the shareware program "DesktopMovieFat" to add the sound and recompress the movie!! Usage: ====== JPEG2MOV FROM/A,TO/A,PICWIDTH=W/N/A,PICHEIGHT=H/N/A,FRAMES/N/A,START/N, SCALEWIDTH=SW/K/N,SCALEHEIGHT=SH/K/N, CROPWIDTH=CW/K/N,CROPHEIGHT=CH/K/N,CROPTOP=CT/K/N,CROPLEFT=CL/K/N, ORIGFPS=OLDFPS/K/N,FPS=NEWFPS/K/N,SEQUENCE=SEQ/K, BUFSIZE=BUF/K/N,READALL/S/K Required Options: ----------------- FROM/A = The path and name of the JPEG-pictures. There are two methods: -Specify an ANSI-C-type-form-string for the pictures, e.g. "JP:pic.%04d.jpeg" (only if you know what you do!!) -Specify the first picture: e.g. "JP:pic.0012.jpeg", the program will automatically convert it to the other format and extract the first picure. TO/A = The movie that should be build. An existing file will be overwitten! PICWIDTH=W/N/A, PICHEIGHT=H/N/A = The size of the JPEG pictures. FRAMES/N/A = The number of frames that should be stored in the movie. You can set this higher than frames exist, but for every frame a 4Byte entry in a big field will be allocated. Now you have to specify ONE of the FPS-options or TWO of these three options. ORIGFPS=OLDFPS/K/N = The FramesPerSecond of the JPEG images. NEWFPS=FPS/K/N = The FramesPerSecond of the movie. SEQUENCE=SEQ/K = An text which specifies, which picture should be picked "P" (stored in the movie) or skipped "S". If you select one of the FPS-Options, the old and new FPS-Rate will be the set. Otherwise the third parameter will be calculated using the other two. If you e.g. set ORIGFPS=50 and NEWFPS=25, the sequence will look like "Ps". Optional Parameters: -------------------- START/N = Specifies the first picture. It defaults to the number, which will be extracted from the FROM-Option - if there is a number in it - or 1. BUFSIZE=BUF/K/N = The size of the buffer in kilo-Bytes, default: 30k. Note: It will copy frame by frame. READALL/S/K = Force to read all pictures, even if there skipped. This option is essential, if you've stored the pics a PIPE and only want to read some of the pictures. Note: If some programms (e.g. MovieShop) don't allow to store to PIPE: (cause it's no filesystem), get the "PipeHandler.lha" from AmiNet. Scale / Crop-Options: --------------------- The program does NOT change the JPEGs, it will only set the needed options in the movie, that tell good QT-Programs that the movie should be shown scaled/cropped. QT and CyberQT do not support them at all. The Windows QT-Player supports scaling. All Mac programs support both! SCALEWIDTH=SW/K/N,SCALEHEIGHT=SH/K/N = The size of the scaled picture. (default: original picture) The picture will be first scaled, than cropped. CROPWIDTH=CW/K/N,CROPHEIGHT=CH/K/N = The size of the cropped picture. (default: scaled picture) CROPTOP=CT/K/N,CROPLEFT=CL/K/N = The offset to the left-top-edge of the cropped picture. (default: the picture will be centered) Thats all, have fun!!
