NAME

       xwd2raw - Use an X Window as a source for Raw DV images.

SYNOPSIS

       xwd2raw [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       xwd2raw captures an X Windows as a Raw DV stream

OPTIONS

       -n     NTSC output required (default: PAL).

       -w window
              Specify window to capture (default is whole screen).

       -i id  X Window id to capture.

       -s     Interactively select the X Window to capture.

       -m     Use  Image  Magick tools to convert the xwd image (this may be a
              better option from a performance point of view and seems to work
              better than the xwdtopnm utility which is used by default).
