NAME

jpegconvert − Convert JPEG video from old algorithm to new. 

SYNOPSIS

jpegconvert -infile infilename -outfile outfilename [-help]

DESCRIPTION

jpegconvert converts an AVI file containing compressed JPEG video. The input file must contain video compressed using any version of Multimedia Services prior to V2.0. jpegconvert converts the file using a newer compression algorithm that is compatible with industry standards for JPEG compression. 

Prior to V2.0, the algorithm used to compress video to the JPEG format used more quantization than necessary. jpegconvert decompresses each video frame in the input file and recompresses it using the new algorithm. 

jpegconvert should not be used to convert files created with Multimedia Services V2.0 or later. The results will appear washed out. jpegconvert copies all non-video data found in the input file to the output file. 

OPTIONS

jpegconvert accepts the following command line options:

[-infile infilename]
Input AVI file to convert.

[-outfile outfilename]
Converted output AVI file.

[-help] Displays help information.
