YUVIT

Command line tool to convert images from popular formats (png, jpeg, etc) into YUV images or even sequences. It can read all image formats which FreeImage library supports.

Build

You'll need cmake, make, g++ and libfreeimage.

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libfreeimage-dev

On RadHat/Fedora:

sudo yum install gcc-c++ cmake freeimage-devel

For OS X you'll need a Brew and Apple Command-line Tools. Install them, then continue:

brew install cmake make freeimage

Clone sources and build:

git clone https://github.com/stunpix/yuvit.git
mkdir yuvit/build && cd yuvit/build
cmake ..
make

For OS X there is only way to install tool using:

make install

This installs tool under /usr/local. You can also use this approach for Linux distros, but we recommend to use your system's package manager for installs. To get .deb and .rpm packages, run:

cpack

and install package using your package manager. With this approach your system will be not polluted with files that aren't controlled by package manager.

Usage

Usage: yuvit [options] <file>

Options:
    -h
        This help
    -o
        Output filename. Could be a pattern for read multifile sequences.
    -a
       Append mode. Images will be append to output file. Doesn't truncate output file.
    -m <start>:<end>
       Start and end numbers for multifile sequences.
    -i
       Interleave UV rows for planar formats
    -w
       Swap UV components order
    -x <jpeg|sdtv|hdtv>
       Use YUV conversion matrix. Default: jpeg

    -f <yuv|yuyv|uyuv|yyuv>
        Output YUV format. Default: yuv"
            yuv
                Planar format
            yuyv
                Packed format
            uyvy
                Packed format
            yyuv
                Planar luma with packed chroma format
    -s <h1v1|h2v2|h2v1|h1v2>
        Chroma scaling. Used only for planar formats. Default: h1v1
            h1v1
                UV not scaled down [DEFAULT]
            h2v2
                UV scaled down by 2x horizontally and vertically
            h2v1
                UV scaled down by 2x horizontally
            h1v2
                UV scaled down by 2x vertically
Multifile sequences:
    Use '#' in file names, so they will be replaced with numbers.
    Examples:
        yuvit -a -m 0:100 -o out.yuv test###.bmp
            Converts: 'test000.bmp'...'test100.bmp' -> 'out.yuv'
        yuvit -m 10:200 -o out###.yuv test######.jpg
            Converts: 'test000010.jpg'...'test000200.jpg' -> 'out010.yuv'...'out200.yuv'
