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.
