SYNOPSIS
ppm2raw [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
ppm2raw converts a PPM to a Raw DV stream.
OPTIONS
-n NTSC output required.
-a Maintain aspect ratio when scaling images.
-s Scale images to the full frame size, regardless of aspect ratio
-w Wide screen output (default: off).
-p number
Number of encoder passes (default is 3).
-q qno Encoder qno.

Format must be a hex string representing red, green, blue. For

-A wav Use the wav to dub the output. The wav file must contain stereo,
16 bit samples at a frequency of 32khz, 44.1khz or 48khz.
-2 Two pass encoding (default: off).
HELP OPTIONS
--help Show help message.
EXAMPLES
ppm2raw needs a PPM input provided on stdin. Fortunately, many tools
generate PPM on stdout.
For example, to re-encode any ffmpeg compatible file or stream format
to a PAL Raw DV stream which rescales the images according to the
aspect ratio of the input using the following command:
ffmpeg -i 'some-file' -f ppmpipe - |
ppm2raw -a > file.dv
For NTSC, you would add -n to the ppm2raw command.
