It's not necessarily "direct" from jpeg to y4m; JPEG-->Y4M involves
hammering the chroma as well:
o Change of gamut -- JPEG luma is [0,255], Y4M is [16,235], etc.
o Change of subsampling -- JPEG is "4:2:0 JPEG", whereas for a DVD
you need "4:2:0 MPEG-2" --- they are different.
But, with JPEG-->PPM-->Y4M, you would be doing both of those twice.
Maybe E.'s film is black&white? :)

ps: If it *is* black&white... try PGM images and the new "pnmtoy4m"!
