RawRip - By Mike Negus

First read the DMPEG.DOC file to learn how a RAW file should be created from
an MPEG.  Once you have created a RAW file with DMPEG (either 8 or 24-bit with
the -d4 option) you can run it through my RawRip program to create a DIB 
sequence.  Each DIB file (which is also compatible with the BMP file format)
is a frame of the converted MPEG video.  This sequence can then be used by
Microsoft's Video for Windows to create an AVI or each DIB file can be edited
by any Bitmap editor.

There are two options that I've incorporated with this program.  The first is
a start frame option which allows you to start conversion at whatever frame in
the sequence you choose.  The other is a lightness option which lets you
lighten up the sequence if it is too dark.  The range of this option is from
0 to 255.  255 lightens the most and will give give a bunch of white frames.
I've allowed numbers greater than 255 because it creates "neat" effects like
a negative does.  Try a lightness factor of 450 or 1000 to see what I mean.  

To use rawrip with an 8-bit or 24-bit raw file called test.raw starting at
frame 10 with lightness factor 25:

rawrip test.raw s10 l25

Using with no options:

rawrip test.raw

This will default to frame 0 and a lightness factor of 0.

I had a lot of fun making this program and figuring out the DIB/BMP formats so
this is FREE to whoever wants it.  If you have a program that creates MPEG's
or does what my program does but better AND IS SHAREWARE then please post it on
the INTERNET for others like myself to get and use.
