NAME

       lavtrans - Convert MJPEG videos to other MJPEG video formats

SYNOPSIS

       lavtrans -o outputfile -f a|q|i|w [-i num] lavfile1 [lavfile2 ... lavfileN]

DESCRIPTION

       lavtrans can be used to convert the recorded videos from one MJPEG "container" format  to another one. It
       can also be used to split the streams, or do destructive edits.

       Like  all  the  other mjpegtools(1) lavtrans also accept a edit list file in place of actual video files.
       This allows it to be used to construct a stand-alone copy of the editted video sequence described in  the
       editlist.

       Note  that lavtrans can only change the container type of MJPEG video, not the format.  As such it is not
       possible to use it combine streams of different format.

OPTIONS

       lavtrans accepts the following options:

       -f [a|q|m|i|w]
            Specifies the output format that should be saved.
              a - output to AVI file
              q - output to Qicktime file
              i - output single JPEG images,
              w - output WAV file (sound only!)

       -i num
            Convert a single frame to a JPEG file.

       -o outputfile
            Specifies the name of the output file If you want as output  single  JPEG  images  the  output  file
            string must be a valid format string

       filename
            Multiple filenames as input are acceped, also mixing of edit list files and other in video files.

BUGS

       There  seem  to  be  problems with the transoding of large Quicktime movies. One other thing is that with
       interlaced movies only one field is extracted.  So you get pictures with the  full  horizontal  size  and
       half vertical size.
