NAME

       pfsoutffmpeg - Read pfs frames from stdin and forward them to ffmpeg program

SYNOPSIS

       pfsoutffmpeg [--help] <ffmpeg options> output_file

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  is  a  wrapper  for ffmpeg program and can be used to write pfs frames to a
       compressed video.

       Check the examples section to for sample usage  and  see  manual  of  ffmpeg  for  further
       information.

       Note  that  the  usage of '-f' switch (input format specifier) and '-i' switch (input file
       specifier) of the ffmpeg program is implemented inside the script  and  is  therefore  not
       allowed.

EXAMPLES

       pfsinrgbe frame%04d.hdr --frames 100:2:200 | pfstmo_reinhard02 -s
              | pfsgamma -g 1.7 | pfsoutffmpeg -qscale 4 test.avi

              1. Read HDR frames in RGBE format with the following names:
                 frame0100.hdr, frame0102.hdr, frame0104.hdr,... frame0200.hdr

              2. Apply local tone mapping operator to each frame (Reinhard2002
                 model, part of the PFSTMO package)

              3. Apply gamma correction to each tone mapped frame

              4. Compress frames to test.avi animation

BUGS

       Frames  smaller  than  512x384 can cause broken pipe error, due to bug in ppm pipe reading
       routine in ffmpeg.
