## NAME

SMIL Utils - A collection of utilities based on kino's SMIL project format and supported file formats (Raw DV, DV AVI 1 and 2 and libquicktime DV encoded MOV).

## SYNOPSIS

[**image2raw**(1)](/image2raw/1.md), [**ppm2raw**(1)](/ppm2raw/1.md), **ppmfilter**(1), **ppmeffectv**(1) [**raw2dv**(1)](/raw2dv/1.md), [**raw2image**(1)](/raw2image/1.md), [**raw2webcam**(1)](/raw2webcam/1.md), [**raw2yuv**(1)](/raw2yuv/1.md), [**rawmultiply**(1)](/rawmultiply/1.md), [**rawplay**(1)](/rawplay/1.md), [**smil2raw**(1)](/smil2raw/1.md), [**smil2wav**(1)](/smil2wav/1.md), [**smil2yuv**(1)](/smil2yuv/1.md), **tga2raw**(1), [**xwd2raw**(1)](/xwd2raw/1.md)

All tools support the --help switch to obtain a brief usage description.

## DESCRIPTION

SMIL Utils provide a wide variety of tools for import and export functionality to and from Digital Video formats.

## INPUT NAMING CONVENTIONS

image\* tools take image files on the command line. Most formats are supported.

ppm\* tools take ppm pipes as stdin.

raw\* tools take Raw DV as input on stdin.

raw2\* tools convert the incoming Raw DV to something else.

smil2\* tools take kino smil projects or DV encoded files as command line input  and export to another format.

xwd2\* is a silly throw away bit of nonsense :-).

## OUTPUT NAMING CONVENTIONS

\*2raw tools generate Raw DV on stdout.

\*2yuv tools generate YUV4MJPEG output on stdout.

\*2wav tools generate WAV files on stdout or in the file you specify. Note that it is not possible to correctly fixate a wav when is written to stdout and as a result, some tools may not be able to correctly handle the resultant file - if that's the case, specify a file name according to the conventions of the tool.

## AVAILABILITY
