And many programms are don'T show the 2nd jpeg in the file. (Howto section: Separate images) For whole size videos you should use that command: lav2yuv -f 1 -L 1810 file.avi | y4mtoppm | pnmsplit - image.pnm And now the same command if you want to use y4mtoppm: lav2yuv -f 1 sophie.eli | y4mtoppm -L >file.ppm > At this point I came unstuck.

You want as output a mjpeg encoded avi/mov or do you want a mpeg video ? You have to pipe the yuv output to a other programm like mpeg2enc or yuv2lav. So the command should look for jpeg2yuv like that guessing that you have 2 interleaved fielss in one single jpeg file and want a jpeg avi with 25frames (1 = sec/PAL): jpeg2yuv -f 25:1 -I t -l 25 -j file.jpg | yuv2lav -o file.avi BTW: That reminds me that there was once abug in jpeg2yuv that it did not loop a certain number like 25, instead it looped forever. So you might have to stop jpeg2yuv by pressing Crtl-C. After it has reached the number you want. And now the same for the pnm file: cat file.ppm | ppmtoy4m -n 25 -F 25:1 -S 420jpeg -r | yuv2lav -o filepnm.avi After that steps you should have several working mjpeg avi/mov streams. > The aim is to creat a file that can be concatenated to the main video, to give > a better ending.

You can than feed all parts into lav2yuv: lav2yuv file1.avi file2.avi .... | .... > I need a prod in the right direction, please. I hope that is something you gad in your mind. > ps - of course, I'll write it up for you when I finally get things sorted ;-) Fine :) I think I have to take a look at the commands.

Not yet ;) BTW: If there are some questions ofr omthe other mail from 15:13 please ask them again. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
