NAME
       ppm2str - converts the ppm files to video streams

SYNOPSIS
       ppm2str filename maxframe

DESCRIPTION
       Vstream is a collection of utilities for capturing reason-
       ably high quality video from a  v4l  device  (specifically
       configured  for bttv).  A simultaneous audio track is also
       captured.

       This utility - ppm2str - converts the ppm files  to  video
       streams.

OPTIONS
       filename
              input  filename  in  fprintf  format  eg:  ovl:%03d
              (NOTE: no .ppm at the end, this gets appended auto-
              matically,  the  : must be ther - this denotes root
              filename).

       maxframe
              the maximum frame number.

NOTES
       From the above example: ovl:000.ppm and ovl:<maxframe>.ppm
       must exist, others are not necessary, the highest existing
       frame number is fetched for editing. eg: if only  frame  0
       and   frame  <maxframe>  exist,  then  frame  0  to  frame
       <maxframe-1> will be frame 0, anf frame <maxframe> will be
       frame<maxframe>...
