+This directory contains Python and C code we wrote while we had a
+framegrabber board on loan from SGI.
+
+ --Guido and Jack
+
+cam.py network real-time tv broadcast; see tv.py
+ usage: cam [packfactor [host]]
+ specifying 'all' for host broadcasts
+
+camcorder.py record video movies or make snapshots (in movie format)
+ usage: camcorder [-c] [-a audiohost [-s]] [moviefile]
+ -c color (default b/w, packfactor = 2)
+ -a audiohost syncaudio is running on audiohost
+ -s start syncaudio (on audiohost)
+ moviefile (default film.video)
+ keyboard commands:
+ s stop grabbing (single step if already stopped)
+ c continuous grabbing
+ r start recording
+ p pause recording (record single frame if paused)
+ ESC quit
+
+statit.py various statistics operations on movie files
+
+syncaudio.py record audio synchronized with camcorder -a
+ usage: syncaudio videohost soundfile
+ soundfile format: 16 bits, 16khz, mono
+
+tv.py receiver for transmissions from cam.py
+
+video.py player for movies recorded by camcorder.py
+ usage: video [moviefile [soundfile]]
+ default moviefile is film.video
+ default sound is no sound
+
+vinfo.py print a summary of a movie file
+
+vtime.py virtual time module imported by syncaudio.py and camcorder.py
+
+
+These are C programs, either for efficiency or because they need to
+link with a C library.
+
+squash.c make a movie smaller by averaging pixels
+ usage: squash factor [bits] <moviefile >newmoviefile
+ factor x and y compression factor
+ bits #bits left per sample in result (default 8)
+
+squash2.c make a movie smaller by dropping pixels
+ usage: squash2 factor <moviefile >newmoviefile
+ factor x and y compression factor
+
+tomono.c like squash2 but outputs a monochrome movie
+
+v2i.c convert the first image of a movie file to SGI .rgb format
+ link with -limage
