NAME

       raw2yuv - Convert a Raw DV stream to a YUV4MJPEG stream.

SYNOPSIS

       raw2yuv [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       raw2yuv  converts  a  Raw  DV  stream received on stdin into the simple
       uncompressed planar 4:2:0 Y'CbCr format, as used by the MJPEG Tools.

OPTIONS

       -a audio-out-file
              Output to an audio file  in  parallel.  Type  is  based  on  the
              extension  and  currently  only wav and mp2 are provided. If you
              wish to have more control over the mp2 file generated, export to
              a wav first and then convert the wav as required.

       -i type
              Deinterlacing   type   -   0  is  none,  1  provides  very  poor
              deinterlacing (default: 0).  2 results in no interlacing, but  a
              4:1:1  subsampled stream (native NTSC DV) which can be processed
              by y4mscaler.  More types will be supported in the future.

HELP OPTIONS

       --help Show help message.

EXAMPLES

       This slightly overlaps with the smil2yuv(1) tool.  The  distinction  is
       that  raw  DV  is  expected  on  stdin,  so  it comes a useful tool for
       transcoding raw DV  producing  tools,  but  without  the  necessity  to
       capture to a file first.

       NB:  This  really  is  not  intended as an option for use with live raw
       producers (such as dvconnect or xwd2raw) unless:

       1. You have a very fast machine (and I mean very fast... a my p4 2gighz
       can't  do  much  with  this without dropping a lot of frames in the yuv
       output);
       2. You don't care about dropping frames :-).

       What will  work  are  non-real  time  raw  sources  like  ppm2raw(1)and
       image2raw(1).
