MinVideo Tools

• These are tools for the MinVideo Format (.minv/.miv).
• Extract Frames from MinVideo, and convert them to *.png Images.
• Convert Extracted frames into *.gif, and then into *.mp4.

Requirements:

• To install the nessisary requirements for MinImageTool.py please install as provided below:

pip install -r .\requirements.txt

Usage:

python MinImageTool.py
       get-frames      [yourMinVideoFilePATH]   [yourOutputPATH]            - Gets the Frames from a MinVideo File.
       convert-frames  [yourMinImageFolderPATH] [yourPNGOutputPATH]         - Converts Frames from MinVideo *.mimg to *.png Images.
       png-2-gif       [yourPNGFolderPATH]      [yourOutputGIFNameAndPATH]  - Converts *.png Frames extracted from *.minv to *.gif running at a fixed 30FPS. 
       gif-2-mp4       *[yourGIF_PATH]          *[yourOutputMP4NameAndPATH] - Converts the Generated *.gif into a Compressed H.264 Codec MP4 File. (File Args aren't currently supported ATM).
       extract-frame   [yourMinVideoFilePATH]   [frameYouWantExtracted]     - Extracts a specified Fream from *.minv instead of Extracting all Frames.
       upscale         [yourPNGImagePATH]       [yourScaling]               - Upscales *.png Images to get a more clearer Image than the Extracted MinVideo Frames.

Extra Formats:

MinImage:

• MinImage is a format designed to be cross-compatible with MinVideo.
• Basically just Frame Information and Data that has a some Traditional Header Information.
• Simple, uncompressed images, no algorithm encoding with pure RGB Formatting.

Header Data is a total of 0x20 (32) Bytes at the beginning of the File.
Bytes 0x00 - 0x03 is the Name of The Header (mimg).
Bytes 0x04 - 0x05 Defines the Start of the Header Information.
Bytes 0x06 - 0x07 is the Mode which the file should be read.
- 0x01 is Raw BGR
- 0x02 is Raw RGB
- 0x03 is Raw ETC2_BGR
- 0x04 is Raw ETC2_RGB
Bytes 0x08 - 0x0B is the Width.
Bytes 0x0C - 0x0F is the Height.
Bytes 0x10 - 0x13 is the Width Checksum.
Bytes 0x14 - 0x17 is the Height Checksum.
Bytes 0x18 - 0x1B is the Frame Count of the Video.
Bytes 0x1C - 0x20 is the Defining the End of the Header Data.
