fmfconv [options] [infile [outfile [soundfile]]]

DESCRIPTION
fmfconv is a Fuse movie file converter. It can convert .fmf files to any video file format known by FFMPEG.

OPTIONS

-a codec
--acodec codec
    Select audio codec for FFMPEG output (by default file format determine).

--acodecs
    List available FFMPEG audio codecs (see -a/--acodec).

--aifc
    Force AIFF-C output if sound format is AIFF.

-A rate
--arate rate
    Select audio bitrate for FFMPEG output (by default audio codec determine) where `rate' is `default' or a number.

-u
--au
    Save sound to Sun Audio (au) file.

-m
--aiff
    Save sound to Apple Computer audio (aiff/aiff-c) file.

-F format
--format format
    Select file format for FFMPEG output (by default the filename extension determines the format).

--formats
    List available FFMPEG formats (see -F/--format).

-f timing
--frate timing
    Set output frame rate. `timing' is `pal', `ntsc', `movie' or a number with maximum 3 digit after decimal point, or a #/# (e.g.: -f 29.97 or -f 30000/1001).

-h
--help
    Give brief usage help, listing available options.

--info
    Scan input file(s) and print information.

-i filename
--input filename
    Input file.

--mono
    Convert sound to mono (by default sound is converted to stereo).

-C cut
--out-cut cut
    Leave out the comma delimited `cut' ranges e.g.: 100-200,300,500,1:11-2:22 cut the frames 100–200, 300, 500 and frames from 1 min 11 sec to 2 min 22 sec (in the given timing see: -f/--frate).

-o filename
--output filename
    Output file.

-P
--ppm
    Save video as PPM screenshots.

-p profile
--profile profile
    Select the profile for FFMPEG output where <profile> is `youtube', `dvd', `svcd' or `ipod'.

-g form
--progress form
    Show progress, where <form> is one of `%', `bar', `frame' or `time'. frame and time are similar to bar and show movie seconds or frame number as well.

-q
--quiet
    Decrease the verbosity level by one.

--raw-sound
    Do not convert sound to 16-bit signed PCM and STEREO or MONO. This is an advanced option. If stereo/mono or audio encoding change through `fmf' file, your sound will be crappy.

-R res
--resize res
    Resize video frame where `res' is `vga' for 640x480, `hvga' for 480x360, `qvga' for 320x240, `pal' for 768x576 (this set frame rate to 25 also) or WxH, Sx, N/Mx or W.

-S
--scr
    Save video as SCR screenshots.

-s filename
--sound filename
    Output sound file.

--sound-only
    Process only the sound from an `fmf' file.

-E rate
--srate rate
    Resample audio to `rate' sampling rate where `rate' is `cd' for 44100 or `dat' for 48000 or a number (`cd' and `dat' set `stereo' as well).

-v
--verbose
    Increase the verbosity level by one.

-c codec
--vcodec codec
    Select video codec for FFMPEG output (by default file format determine).

-V
--version
    Print the version number and exit.

-r rate
--vrate rate
    Select video bitrate for FFMPEG output (by default audio codec determine) where `rate' is `default', `ffdefault' or a number.

--vcodecs
    List available FFMPEG video codecs (see -c/--vcodec).

-w
--wav
    Save sound to Microsoft audio (wav) file.

-X
--ffmpeg
    Save video and audio as FFMPEG file (default if FFMPEG is available).

-Y
--yuv
    Save video as yuv4mpeg2.

--yuv-format frm
    Set yuv4mpeg2 file frame format to `frm', where `frm' is one of `444', `422', `420j', `420m', `420' or `410'.

EXAMPLES
Convert a Fuse movie file to a mpeg video with quality equivalent to YouTube

    fmfconv -p youtube input.fmf output.mov

Convert a Fuse movie file to a DVD video format

    fmfconv -p dvd input.fmf output.vob

Extract audio (mono) from a recording

    fmfconv --sound-only --mono input.fmf output.wav
