- RawRip - By Mike Negus
-
- First read the DMPEG.DOC file to learn how a RAW file should be created from
- an MPEG. Once you have created a RAW file with DMPEG (either 8 or 24-bit with
- the -d4 option) you can run it through my RawRip program to create a DIB
- sequence. Each DIB file (which is also compatible with the BMP file format)
- is a frame of the converted MPEG video. This sequence can then be used by
- Microsoft's Video for Windows to create an AVI or each DIB file can be edited
- by any Bitmap editor.
-
- There are two options that I've incorporated with this program. The first is
- a start frame option which allows you to start conversion at whatever frame in
- the sequence you choose. The other is a lightness option which lets you
- lighten up the sequence if it is too dark. The range of this option is from
- 0 to 255. 255 lightens the most and will give give a bunch of white frames.
- I've allowed numbers greater than 255 because it creates "neat" effects like
- a negative does. Try a lightness factor of 450 or 1000 to see what I mean.
-
- To use rawrip with an 8-bit or 24-bit raw file called test.raw starting at
- frame 10 with lightness factor 25:
-
- rawrip test.raw s10 l25
-
- Using with no options:
-
- rawrip test.raw
-
- This will default to frame 0 and a lightness factor of 0.
-
- I had a lot of fun making this program and figuring out the DIB/BMP formats so
- this is FREE to whoever wants it. If you have a program that creates MPEG's
- or does what my program does but better AND IS SHAREWARE then please post it on
- the INTERNET for others like myself to get and use.
