It would be fairly safe to assume that the lav stuff deal with MJPEG (and DV), not MPEG. lavrec, for example, create .avi, .mov and-so-on files containing MJPEG video streams, and lavplay plays them. > What is the difference between the yuv... and y4m... tools?

YUV streams are used as the internal format of mjpegtools; uncompressed, hence lossless, and structurally simple and easy to handle. About the only things that handle MPEG, as far as I know, is mpeg2enc, which produces MPEG streams, and mplex, which is able to multiplex them. It's entirely possible to let something (mplayer?) play an MPEG stream with y4m as output format, and pipe that stream into the stabilizer. /Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list Mjpeg-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
