pfsoutffmpeg(1)

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.
