MPEG-1 is the --first great video compression method, and is what is used in Video CDs --(VCD). <b>ppmtompeg</b> originated in the year 1995. DVD uses a more --advanced method, MPEG-2. There is an even newer method called MPEG-4 --which is also called Divx. I don't know where one finds that used. -- --<p>There's technically a difference between a compression method for --video and an actual file (stream) format for a movie, and I don't know --if it can be validly said that the format of the stream --<b>ppmtompeg</b> produces is MPEG-1. -- --<p>Mencoder from the <a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu">Mplayer --package</a> is probably superior for most video format generation --needs, if for no other reason than that it is more popular. -- --<p>The programming library <a href="http://pm2v.free.fr"><b>PM2V</b></a> --generates MPEG-2 streams. -- --<p>Use <a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu">Mplayer</a> (not part of Netpbm) --to do the reverse conversion: to create a series of PNM files from an MPEG --stream. -- --<p><i>param_file</i> is a parameter file which includes a list of --input files and other parameters. The file is described in detail --below. -- --<P>To understand this program, you need to understand something about --the complex MPEG-1 format.

The --statistics use the following abbreviations: bits per block (bpb), bits --per frame (bpf), seconds per frame (spf), and bits per second (bps). -- --<p>These statistics include how many I, P, and B frames there were, --and information about compression and quality. -- -- --<DT><B>-quiet</b> <i>num_seconds</i> -- --<DD> causes <b>ppmtompeg</b> not to report remaining time more often --than every <i>num_seconds</i> seconds (unless the time estimate rises, --which will happen near the beginning of the run).

In this case, the parameter file needs only to contain --the SIZE value, an output file, and perhaps a list of input GOP --files (see below). -- --If you don't supply a list of input GOP files is used, then --<b>ppmtompeg</b> assumes you're using the same parameter file you used --when you created the input (with the <b>-gop</b> option) and --calculates the corresponding gop filenames itself.

See 'man nice.' -- --<DT><B>-max_machines <i>num_machines</i></B> -- --<DD>This option causes <b>ppmtompeg</b> to use no more than --<i>num_machines</i> machines as slaves for use in parallel encoding. -- --<DT><B>-snr</B> -- --<DD>This option causes <b>ppmtompeg</b> to include the signal-to-noise --ratio in the reported statistics. Prints SNR (Y U V) and peak SNR (Y --U V) for each frame. In summary, prints averages of luminance only --(Y). SNR is defined as 10*log(variance of original/variance of --error). Peak SNR is defined as 20*log(255/RMSE). Note that --<b>ppmtompeg</b> runs a little slower when you use this option. -- --<DT><B>-mse</B> -- --<DD>This option causes <b>ppmtompeg</b> to report the mean squared --error per block. It also automatically reports the quality of the --images, so there is no need to specify <b>-snr</b> then. -- --<DT><B>-bit_rate_info</b> <i>rate_file</i> -- --<DD> This option makes <b>ppmtompeg</b> write bit rate information --into the file <i>rate_file</i>. Bit rate information is bits per frame, and --also bits per I-frame-to-I-frame. -- --<DT><B>-mv_histogram</B> -- --<DD> This option causes <b>ppmtompeg</b> to print a histogram of the --motion vectors as part of statistics. There are three histograms -- --one for P frame, one for forward B frame, and one for backward B frame --motion vectors. -- --<p>The output is in the form of a matrix, each entry corresponding to one --motion vector in the search window.

Example: -- --<pre> -- PATTERN IBBPBBPBBPBBPBB --</pre> -- --<p>See <a href="#ipb">I Frames, P Frames, B Frames</a>. -- --<DT><B>OUTPUT</b> <i>output file</i> --<DD>This names the file where the output MPEG stream goes. -- --<DT><B>INPUT_DIR</b> <i>directory</i> -- --<DD>This statement tells where the input images (frames) come from. --If each frame is in a separate file, <i>directory</i> is the directory --where they all are. You may use <b>.</b> to refer to the current --directory. A null <i>directory</i> refers to the root directory of the --system file tree. -- --<p>To have <b>ppmtompeg</b> read all the frames serially from Standard --Input, specify --<pre> -- INPUT_DIR stdin --</pre> -- --<DT><B>INPUT</b> --<DD> --This line must be followed by a list of the input files (in display order) --and then the line <B>END_INPUT</B>. -- --<p>There are three types of lines between INPUT and END_INPUT. First, --a line may simply be the name of an input file. Second, the line --may be of the form <i>single_star_expr</i> --<b>[</b><i>x</i><b>-</b><i>y</i><b>]</b>. --<i>single_star_expr</i> can have a single <b>*</b> in it. It is --replaced by all the numbers between x and y inclusive. So, for --example, the line <b>tennis*.ppm [12-15]</b> refers to the files --tennis12.ppm, tennis13.ppm, tennis14.ppm, tennis15.ppm. -- --<p>Uniform zero-padding occurs, as well. For example, the line --<b>football.*.ppm [001-130]</b> refers to the files football.001.ppm, --football.002.ppm, ..., football.009.ppm, football.010.ppm, ..., --football.130.ppm. -- --<p>The third type of line is: <i>single_star_expr</i> --<b>[</b><i>x</i><b>-</b><i>y</i><b>+</b><i>s</i><b>]</b>, where the --line is treated exactly as above, except that we skip by <i>s</i>. Thus, the --line <b>football.*.ppm [001-130+4]</b> refers to the files --football.001.ppm, football.005.ppm, football.009.ppm, --football.013.ppm, etc. -- --<p>Furthermore, a line may specify a shell command to execute to --generate lines to be interpreted as described above, as if those lines --were in the parameter file instead. Use back ticks, like in the --Bourne Shell, like this: -- --<pre> -- `cat myfilelist` --</pre> -- --<p> --If input is from Standard Input (per the <b>INPUT_DIR</b> statement), --<b>ppmtompeg</b> ignores the <B>INPUT</b>/<b>END_INPUT</b> block, but --it still must be present. -- --<DT><b>BASE_FILE_FORMAT</b> {<b>PPM</b> | <b>PNM</b> | <b>YUV</b> | -- <b>JPEG</b> | <b>JMOVIE</b>} -- --<DD><B>ppmtompeg</b> must convert all input files to one of the --following formats as a first step of processing: PNM, YUV, JPEG(v4), --or JMOVIE. (The conversion may be trivial if your input files are --already in one of these formats). This line specifies which of the --four formats. PPM is actually a subset of PNM. The separate --specification is allowed for backward compatibility. Use PNM instead --of PPM in new applications. -- --<DT><b>INPUT_CONVERT</b> <i>conversion_command</i> -- --<DD>You must specify how to convert a file to the base file format. --If no conversion is necessary, then you would just say: -- -- <pre> -- INPUT_CONVERT * -- </pre> -- --<p>Otherwise, <i>conversion_command</i> is a shell command that causes --an image in the format your specified with <B>BASE_FILE_FORMAT</b> to --be written to Standard Output. <b>ppmtompeg</b> executes the command --once for each line between <b>INPUT</b> and <b>END_INPUT</b> (which is --normally, but not necessarily, a file name). In the conversion --command, <b>ppmtompeg</b> replaces each '*' with the contents of that --line. -- -- If you had a bunch of gif files, you might say: -- <pre> -- INPUT_CONVERT giftopnm * -- </pre> -- -- If you have a bunch of separate a.Y, a.U, and a.V files (where -- the U and V have already been subsampled), then you might say: -- -- <pre> -- INPUT_CONVERT cat *.Y *.U *.V -- </pre> -- --<p>Input conversion is not allowed with input from stdin, so use -- -- <pre> -- INPUT_CONVERT * -- </pre> -- --as described above. -- --<DT><b>SIZE</b> <i>width</i><b>x</b><i>height</i> -- --<dd> -- --<p><i>width</i> and <i>height</i> are the width and height of each --frame in pixels. -- --<p>When <b>ppmtompeg</b> can get this information from the input image --files, it ignores the <b>SIZE</b> parameter and you may omit it. -- --<p>When the image files are in YUV format, the files don't contain --dimension information, so <b>SIZE</b> is required. -- --<p>When <b>ppmtompeg</b> is running in parallel mode, not all of the --processes in the network have access to the image files, so --<b>SIZE</b> is required and must give the same dimensions as the --input image files. -- --<DT><b>YUV_SIZE</b> <i>width</i><b>x</b><i>height</i> -- --<dd>This is an obsolete synonym of <b>SIZE</b>. -- --<DT><b>YUV_FORMAT</B> {<b>ABEKAS</b> | <b>PHILLIPS</b> | <b>UCB</B> | -- <b>EYUV</b> | <i>pattern</i>} -- --<DD>This is meaningful only when <b>BASE_FILE_FORMAT</b> specifies --YUV format, and then it is required. It specifies the sub-format of --the YUV class. -- -- --<DT><b>GOP_SIZE</b> <i>n</i> -- --<DD><i>n</i> is the number of frames in a Group of Pictures. Except that --because a GOP must start with an I frame, <b>ppmtompeg</b> makes a GOP as --much longer than <i>n</i> as it has to to make the next GOP start with an --I frame. -- --<p>Normally, it makes sense to make your GOP size a multiple of your --pattern length (the latter is determined by the PATTERN parameter file --statement). -- --<p>See <a href="#gop">Group Of Pictures</a>. -- --<DT><b>SLICES_PER_FRAME</b> <i>n</i> --<dd><i>n</i> is roughly the number of slices per frame. Note, at --least one MPEG player may complain if slices do not start at the left --side of an image. To ensure this does not happen, make sure the --number of rows is divisible by SLICES_PER_FRAME. -- --<DT><b>PIXEL</b> {<b>FULL</b> | <b>HALF</b>} -- --<dd>use half-pixel motion vectors, or just full-pixel ones It is --usually important that you use half-pixel motion vectors, because it --results in both better quality and better compression. -- -- --<DT><b>RANGE</b> <i>n</i> --<dd>Use a search range of <i>n</i> pixels in each of the four directions --from a subject pixel.

You select the desired -- combination of speed and compression. <b>EXHAUSTIVE</b> gives the -- best compression, but <b>LOGARITHMIC</B> is the fastest. -- <B>TWOLEVEL</B> is an exhaustive full-pixel search, followed by a -- local half- pixel search around the best full-pixel vector (the -- PIXEL option is ignored for this search technique). -- --<DT><b>BSEARCH_ALG</b> {<b>SIMPLE</B> | <B>CROSS2</B> | <B>EXHAUSTIVE</B>} -- --<dd>This statement tells <b>ppmtompeg</b> what kind of search -- technique (algorithm) to use for B frames. <b>SIMPLE</B> means -- find best forward and backward vectors, then interpolate. -- <B>CROSS2</B> means find those two vectors, then see what backward -- vector best matches the best forward vector, and vice versa. -- <b>EXHAUSTIVE</b> does an n-squared search and is -- <em>extremely</em> slow in relation to the others (<b>CROSS2</b> -- is about half as fast as <b>SIMPLE</B>). -- --<DT><b>IQSCALE</b> <i>n</i> --<dd>Use <i>n</i> as the qscale for I frames. -- See <a href="#qscale">Qscale</a>. -- --<DT><b>PQSCALE</b> <i>n</i> --<dd>Use <i>n</i> as the qscale for P frames. -- See <a href="#qscale">Qscale</a>. -- --<DT><b>BQSCALE</b> <i>n</i> --<dd>Use <i>n</i> as the qscale for B frames. -- See <a href="#qscale">Qscale</a>. -- --<DT><b>REFERENCE_FRAME</b> {<B>ORIGINAL</B> | <b>DECODED</b>} <dd>This --statement determines whether <b>ppmtompeg</b> uses the original images --or the decoded images when computing motion vectors.

An MPEG video stream is made of one or more --GOP's. You may specify how many frames should be in each GOP with the --<b>GOP_SIZE</b> parameter file statement. A GOP always starts with an --I frame. -- --<p>Instead of encoding an entire sequence, you can encode a single --GOP. To do this, use the <b>-gop</b> command option. You can later --join the resulting GOP files at any time by running <b>ppmtompeg</b> --with the <b>-combine_gops</b> command option. -- -- --<h3>Slices</h3> -- --<p>A slice is an independently decodable unit in a frame. It can be --as small as one macroblock, or it can be as big as the entire frame. --Barring transmission error, adding slices does not change quality or --speed; the only effect is slightly worse compression. More slices are --used for noisy transmission so that errors are more recoverable. Since --usually errors are not such a problem, we usually just use one slice --per frame. -- --<p>Control the slice size with the <B>SLICES_PER_FRAME</B> parameter --file statement. -- --<p>Some MPEG playback systems require that each slice consist of whole --rows of macroblocks. If you are encoding for this kind of player, if --the height of the image is H pixels, then you should set the --SLICES_PER_FRAME to some number which divides H/16. For example, if --the image is 240 pixels (15 macroblocks) high, then you should use --only 15, 5, 3, or 1 slices per frame. -- --<p>Note: these MPEG playback systems are really wrong, since the MPEG --standard says this doesn't have to be so. -- -- -- --<h3>Search Window</h3> -- --<p>The search window is the window in which <b>ppmtompeg</b> searches --for motion vectors. The window is a square. You can specify the size --of the square, and whether to allow half-pixel motion vectors or not, --with the <b>RANGE</b> and <b>PIXEL</B> parameter file statements. -- --<h3 id="ipb">I Frames, P Frames, B Frames</h3> -- --<p>In MPEG-1, a movie is represented as a sequence of MPEG frames, --each of which is an I Frame, a P Frame, or a B Frame. Each represents --an actual frame of the movie (don't get confused by the dual use of --the word "frame." A movie frame is a graphical image. An MPEG frame --is a set of data that describes a movie frame). -- --<p>An I frame ("intra" frame) describes a movie frame in isolation -- --without respect to any other frame in the movie. A P frame --("predictive" frame) describes a movie frame by describing how it --differs from the movie frame described by the latest preceding I or --P frame. A B frame ("bidirectional" frame) describes a movie frame by --describing how it differs from the movie frames described by the --nearest I or P frame before <em>and</em> after it. -- --<p>Note that the first frame of a movie must be described by an I --frame (because there is no previous movie frame) and the last movie --frame must be described by an I or P frame (because there is no --subsequent movie frame). -- --<p>Beyond that, you can choose which frames are represented by which --types. You specify a pattern, such as IBPBP and <b>ppmtompeg</b> --simply repeats it over and over throughout the movie. The pattern --affects speed, quality, and stream size. Here is a chart which shows --some of the trade-offs: -- --<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> -- <caption>Comparison of I/P/B Frames (Normalized)</caption> --<?makeman r c c c. ?> --<?makeman _ ?> -- <tr align="center"> -- <th>Frame Type</th> -- <th>Size</th> -- <th>Speed</th> -- <th>Quality</th> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">I frames</td> -- <td align="center">1000</td> -- <td align="center">1000</td> -- <td align="center">1000</td> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">P frames</td> -- <td align="center">409</td> -- <td align="center">609</td> -- <td align="center">969</td> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">B frames</td> -- <td align="center">72</td> -- <td align="center">260</td> -- <td align="center">919</td> -- </tr> -- </table> -- --(this is with constant qscale) -- --<p>A standard sequence is IBBPBBPBBPBBPBB. -- --<p>Select the sequence with the <B>PATTERN</B> parameter file statement. -- --<p>Since the last MPEG frame cannot be a B frame (see above), if the --pattern you specify indicates a B frame for the last movie frame of --the movie, <b>ppmtompeg</b> makes it an I frame instead. -- --<p>Before Netpbm 10.26 (January 2005), <b>ppmtompeg</b> instead drops --the trailing B frames by default, and you need the --<b>FORCE_ENCODE_LAST_FRAME</b> parameter file statement to make it do --this. -- --<p>The MPEG frames don't appear in the MPEG-1 stream in the same order that --the corresponding movie frames appear in the movie -- the B frames come after --the I and P frames on which they are based. For example, if the movie is --4 frames that you will represent with the pattern IBBP, the MPEG-1 stream --will start with an I frame describing movie frame 0. The next frame in --the MPEG-1 stream is a P frame describing movie frame 3. The last two --frames in the MPEG-1 stream are B frames describing movie frames 1 and 2, --respectively. -- -- --<h3>Specifying Input and Output Files</h3> -- --<p>Specify the input frame images with the <B>INPUT_DIR</B>, --<B>INPUT</B>, <B>END_INPUT</B>, <B>BASE_FILE_FORMAT</B>, --<B>SIZE</B>, <B>YUV_FORMAT</B> and <b>INPUT_CONVERT</B> parameter --file statements. -- --<p>Specify the output file with the <b>OUTPUT</b> parameter file statement. -- -- --<h3>Statistics</h3> -- --<p><b>ppmtompeg</b> can generate a variety of statistics about the --encoding.

When you do, the machines are used as shown in --the following diagram. We call this "parallel mode." -- --<p><img src="ppmtompeg-par.gif" alt="ppmtompeg-par.gif"> -- --<p>To do parallel processing, put the statement -- --<pre> -- PARALLEL --</pre> -- --in the parameter file, followed by a listing of the machines, one --machine per line, then -- --<pre> -- END_PARALLEL --</pre> -- --Each of the machine lines must be in one of two forms. If the machine --has filesystem access to the input files, then the line is: -- --<p> --<i>machine</i> <i>user</i> <i>executable</i> -- --<P>The executable is normally <b>ppmtompeg</b> (you may need to give --the complete path if you've built for different architectures). If --the machine does not have filesystem access to the input files, the line --is: -- --<P><b>REMOTE</b> <i>machine</i> <i>user</i> <i>executable</i> --<i>parameter file</i> -- --<p>The <b>-max_machines</b> command option limits the number of --machines <b>ppmtompeg</b> will use. If you specify more machines in --the parameter file than <b>-max_machines</b> allows, <b>ppmtompeg</b> --uses only the machines listed first. This is handy if you want to --experiment with different amounts of parallelism. -- --<p>In general, you should use full path file names when describing --executables and parameter files. This <em>includes</em> the parameter --file argument on the original invocation of <b>ppmtompeg</b>. -- --<p>All file names must be the same on all systems (so if e.g. you're --using an NFS filesystem, you must make sure it is mounted at the same --mountpoint on all systems). -- --<P>Because not all of the processes involved in parallel operation --have easy access to the input files, you must specify the <B>SIZE</B> --parameter file statement when you do parallel operation. -- --<p>The machine on which you originally invoke <b>ppmtompeg</b> is the --master machine. It hosts a "combine server,", a --"decode server," and a number of "i/o servers," --all as separate processes. The other machines in the network (listed --in the parameter file) are slave machines. Each hosts a single --process that continuously requests work from the master and does it. --The slave process does the computation to encode MPEG frames. It --processes frames in batches identified by the master. -- --<p>The master uses a remote shell command to start a process on a --slave machine. By default, it uses an <b>rsh</b> shell command to do --this. But use the <b>RSH</b> parameter file statement to control --this. The shell command the master executes remotely is --<b>ppmtompeg</b>, but with options to indicate that it is to perform --slave functions. -- --<p>The various machines talk to each other over TCP connections. Each --machine finds and binds to a free TCP port number and tells its --partners the port number. These port numbers are at least 2048. -- --<p>Use the PARALLEL_TEST_FRAMES, PARALLEL_TIME_CHUNKS, and --PARALLEL_PERFECT parameter file statements to control the way the --master divides up work among the slaves. -- --<p>Use the <b>-nice</b> command option to cause all slave processes to run --"nicely," i.e. as low priority processes. That way, this substantial and --long-running CPU load will have minimal impact on other, possibly --interactive, users of the systems. -- --<A NAME="speed"> </A> --<H2>SPEED</h2> -- --<p>Here is a look at <b>ppmtompeg</b> speed, in single-node (not parallel) --operation: -- --<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> -- <caption>Compression Speed</caption> --<?makeman r c. ?> --<?makeman _ ?> -- <tr align="center"> -- <th>Machine Type</th> -- <th>Macroblocks per second<sup>1</sup></th> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">HP 9000/755</td> -- <td align="center">280</td> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">DEC 3000/400</td> -- <td align="center">247</td> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">HP 9000/750</td> -- <td align="center">191</td> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">Sparc 10</td> -- <td align="center">104</td> -- </tr> -- <tr> -- <td align="right">DEC 5000</td> -- <td align="center">68</td> -- </tr> --</table> --<sup>1</sup>A macroblock is a 16x16 pixel square -- --<p>The measurements in the table are with inputs and outputs via a --conventional locally attached filesystem.
