Did you really take 28800 individual pictures by hand? > I know that > find . -name \*.tga | xargs -n1 tgatoppm | ppmtoy4m | blabla Try this: find . -name \*.tga | xargs -n1 cat | ppmtoy4m or find . -name \*.tga -exec cat {} \; | ppmtoy4m If find is not finding the files in the correct order, you may want to do something like: find .-name \*.tga | sort | xargs -n1 cat | ppmtoy4m > An option would be to save in TGA. If you used a digital camera, didn't it produce jpeg files? You'd get the best quality be going from jpeg to y4m directly, without the ppm step. Converting from jpeg to ppm involves a colorspace conversion (YUV->RGB) as well as chroma re-sampling (4:2:0 -> 4:4:4). Going from ppm to y4m involves converting back to YUV and 4:2:0. The files would probably be a lot smaller too! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
