Mjpegtools' support for DV is minimal - limited to decoding (using libdv). Do you know about 'encodedv' from libdv? It can be used to encode to DV from PGM or PPM formats. > image2raw creates a file with a size of 141k and this means a very bad quality That is 100% correct. DV is a fixed bitrate (25Mb/s) and fixed framesize. For NTSC DV frames are 120000 bytes with 4:1:1 sampling. For PAL DV frames are 144000 bytes with 4:2:0-PALDV chroma sampling. No matter what the data in the 720x576 frame is it will *always* be compressed to a 144000 byte DV frame. What are you attempting? Create a computer generated movie and create a DV stream to send to a camcoder?
