.SH DESCRIPTION
fmfconv is a Fuse Movie File converter. It can read .fmf files produced by
Fuse ZX Spectrum emulator and write audio files, video files or sequences of
images in a variety of popular formats. It can also stream data to external
tools through a pipe, so you can get virtually any possible format (see
EXAMPLES).
.PP
fmfconv has built-in support for AIFF, AU and WAV sound formats, PPM and
SCR image formats, AVI and YUV4MPEG2 video formats. Supports PNG and
JPEG/MJPEG formats internally if libpng and libjpeg are available respectively.

.SH OPTIONS
.SS
General options:
.PP
.RI \-h
.br
.RI \-\-help
.RS
Give brief usage help, listing available options.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-\-info
.RS
Scan input file(s) and print information.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-i "filename
.br
.RI "\-\-input "filename
.RS
Input file.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-o "filename
.br
.RI "\-\-output "filename
.RS
Output file.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-y
.br
.RI \-\-overwrite
.RS
Force overwrite of existing output file(s).
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-g "form
.br
.RI "\-\-progress "form
.RS
Show progress, where `form' is one of `%', `bar', `frame' or `time'. frame
and time are similar to bar and show movie seconds or frame number as well.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-q
.br
.RI \-\-quiet
.RS
Decrease the verbosity level by one.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-v
.br
.RI \-\-verbose
.RS
Increase the verbosity level by one.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-V
.br
.RI \-\-version
.RS
Print the version number and exit.
.RE
.SS
Audio options:
.PP
.RI \-\-aifc
.RS
Force AIFF-C output if sound format is AIFF.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-m
.br
.RI \-\-aiff
.RS
Save sound to Apple Computer audio (aiff/aiff-c) file.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-u
.br
.RI \-\-au
.RS
Save sound to Sun Audio (au) file.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-\-mono
.RS
Convert sound to mono (by default sound is converted to stereo).
.RE
.PP
.RI \-\-raw\-sound
.RS
Do not convert sound to 16-bit signed PCM and STEREO or MONO. This is an
advanced option. If stereo/mono or audio encoding change through `fmf' file,
your sound will be crappy.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-s "filename
.br
.RI "\-\-sound "filename
.RS
Output sound file.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-\-sound\-only
.RS
Process only the sound from an `fmf' file.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-E "rate
.br
.RI "\-\-srate "rate
.RS
Resample audio to `rate' sampling rate where `rate' is `cd' for 44100\ Hz
or `dat' for 48000\ Hz or a number (`cd' and `dat' set `stereo' as well).
.RE
.PP
.RI \-w
.br
.RI \-\-wav
.RS
Save sound to Waveform Audio (wav) file.
.RE
.SS
Video/image options:
.PP
.RI \-\-avi
.RS
Save video as AVI format with built-in AVI encoder. If fmfconv supports
jpeg files, encode video as M-JPEG and audio as S16_LE PCM. If output is
not a file (stdout or redirected) then fmfconv encode video as uncompressed
BGR24 DIB frames (see \-\-avi\-mjpeg and \-\-avi\-uncompr).
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-f "timing
.br
.RI "\-\-frate "timing
.RS
Set output frame rate. `timing' is `pal', `ntsc', `movie' or a
number with maximum 3 digit after decimal point, or a #/# (e.g.:
\-f 29.97 or \-f 30000/1001).
.br
For video output formats (AVI/MJPEG/YUV4MPEG2) fmfconv set frame rate
to 25 fps (PAL timing). If you want to keep the original frame rate
use `raw' timing.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-C "cut
.br
.RI "\-\-out\-cut "cut
.RS
Leave out the comma delimited `cut' ranges e.g.: 100\-200,300,500,1:11\-2:22
cut the frames 100\(en200, 300, 500 and frames from 1 min 11 sec to
2 min 22 sec (in the given timing see: \-f/\-\-frate).
.RE
.PP
.RI \-P
.br
.RI \-\-ppm
.RS
Save video as PPM screenshots.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-S
.br
.RI \-\-scr
.RS
Save video as SCR screenshots.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-Y
.br
.RI \-\-yuv
.RS
Save video as yuv4mpeg2.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-\-yuv\-format "frm
.RS
Set yuv4mpeg2 file frame format to `frm', where `frm' is one of `444',
`422', `420j', `420m', `420' or `410'.
.RE
.SS
The following options are available when PNG files are supported:
.PP
.RI \-\-greyscale
.RS
Save greyscale images.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-G
.br
.RI \-\-png
.RS
Save video frames as PNG screenshots.
.RE
.PP
.RI "\-\-png\-compress "level
.RS
Set compression level from a range 0\(en9, or `none', `fast', `best'.

.RS
Force the use of M-JPEG AVI frames (lossy).
.RE
.PP
.RI \-\-avi\-uncompr
.RS
Force the use of uncompressed BGR24 AVI frames. This format does not
produce compression artifacts but the file size is bigger. It is a good
choice if you want to process the video with an external tool.
.RE
.PP
.RI \-\-greyscale
.RS
Save greyscale images or convert video frames.
