qtutil is a set of applications used to extract frames from QuickTime
movies, especially those generated by Olympus digital cameras.

COMPILING

    Unix (all flavors)
	Try "./configure", followed by "make".  This should build
	the executable "qtdump".

    Windows 95/98/NT
	If you have cygnus (http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32),
	use bash and follow the unix directions above.  Otherwise,
	under visual C++ to create a new project.

USAGE

    qtdump

	Run "qtdump -h" to see a complete list of options.  This
	command allows you to extract individual JPEG frames from an
	Olympus QuickTime file.

    qtmpeg

	Usage:
	    qtmpeg <file>.mov

	Creates a file <file>.mpg which is an MPEG-1 version of the
	frames in the QuickTime movie.  The principal advantage is
	that the file will be about 10 times smaller than the
	original.  Downsides are no sound (yet) and it requires a lot
	of CPU time.  You need perl 5 and the Berkeley MPEG encoder
	(mpeg_encode command) to use qtmpeg.
