You know how you can load a series of still pics of BMP JPG or PNG format to turn into AVI frames in Virtualdub. Well to that list needs to be the PPM format (also PGM and PBM). You see I have a program that outputs a series of PPM images for "recording" mode, as it runs. But then I need to waste time converting PPM to BMP before importing them into Virtual dub. This doubles my processing time. Would be easier to just import PPM into Virtualdub directly. Do you developers suppose you could add such a feature into Virtualdub's next version? |

PPM is not a popular format at all on the Windows platform or in most modern applications, and for this reason it hasn't been a priority for me to support. What are you doing that still produces these old formats? |

Even Intel Performance Primitives library supports it, and speaking of major apps, Photoshop does too. |
