NAME

       SMIL  Utils  -  A  collection of utilities based on kino's SMIL project
       format and supported file formats (Raw DV, DV AVI 1 and 2 and libquick-
       time DV encoded MOV).


SYNOPSIS

       image2raw(1),   ppm2raw(1),   raw2dv(1),  raw2image(1),  raw2webcam(1),
       raw2yuv(1),  rawmultiply(1),  smil2raw(1),  smil2wav(1),   smil2yuv(1),
       tga2raw(1), xwd2raw(1)

       All  tools  support  the --help switch to obtain a brief usage descrip-
       tion.


DESCRIPTION

       SMIL Utils provide a wide variety of tools for import and export  func-
       tionality to and from Digital Video formats.


INPUT NAMING CONVENTIONS

       image*  tools  take  image  files on the command line. Most formats are
       supported.

       ppm* tools take ppm pipes as stdin.

       raw* tools take Raw DV as input on stdin.

       raw2* tools convert the incoming Raw DV to something else.

       smil2* tools take kino smil projects or DV  encoded  files  as  command
       line input and export to another format.

       xwd2* is a silly throw away bit of nonsense :-).


OUTPUT NAMING CONVENTIONS

       *2raw tools generate Raw DV on stdout.

       *2yuv tools generate YUV4MJPEG output on stdout.

       *2wav  tools  generate  WAV files on stdout or in the file you specify.
       Note that it is not possible to correctly fixate a wav when is  written
       to stdout and as a result, some tools may not be able to correctly han-
       dle the resultant file - if  that's  the  case,  specify  a  file  name
       according to the conventions of the tool.
