Converting Sequential JPEG files to THP Movie Data

Description

The following describes how to use the THPConv tool to convert Sequential JPEG files to THP movie data:


  THPConv.exe -j <*.jpg> -d<outputfile> [-<option> <argument>]

Description of Options

option argument Description
-j <*.jpg> Specifies the input files (sequential JPEG files). Wildcard characters ("*") can be used. This argument must always be specified.
-d <outputfile> Specifies the output file (THP file). This argument must always be specified.

-s <wavefile>
<wavefile>
......
Specifies the audio file (WAV file) that will be converted to THP audio data. When specifying more than one file for the argument, data is allocated to audio tracks in the order it is specified.
-r <framerate> Specifies the movie's frame rate. Frame rates from 1.0 to 59.94 can be specified. If nothing is specified, the default value (29.97) is used.
-o - THP movie data can internally store offsets to each frame data as a table. If this argument is specified, the THPConv tool will create an offset table in the THP data. If this argument is not specified, the THP movie data, no offset table will be created in the THP movie data.
-non - Specifies the THP video data format. When interlace starts the video data from an odd numbered field, specify -odd. When interlace starts from an even numbered field, specify -even. If this argument is not specified, the THP video data format is automatically set to non-interlaced (-non).
-odd
-even
-v - Turns on Verbose mode.
-h - Displays the option list.

Example

THPConv.exe -j test*.jpg -d output.thp

When this example is executed from a command line, the sequential JPEG files in the current directory (test001.jpg, test002.jpg, test003.jpg, etc.) are converted to THP video data and collected into a single THP movie data file (output.thp).


Notes for Using THPConv

Note: When converting sequential JPEG files to THP movie data, the names of the specified input files must have the extension ".jpg" or ".jpeg".

Note: Unlike the Nintendo GameCube, audio data is output at the set playback frequency (of 48,000 Hz or 32,000 Hz) on the Wii.
