Windows IFF conversion or ANIM conversion?

[jmbattle]

VirtualDub will probably achieve what you are hoping to do.  With the correct DV VFW codecs, one should be able to import the original video, perform any filtering/resizing/colour reduction, then spit out individual frames as uncompressed bmp/tiff.

From here, it should just be a case of using a batch file conversion tool (you have already mentioned irfanview...) to produce 8bit iff images (hey, but don't forget the wonderfully hacky HAM8!) from which an ANIM file can be built on the AmigaOS side (check Aminet for cli/shell tools).

I hope this helps; good luck!

What difficulties did you experience with VirtualDub?  It is an essential tool for any video batch processing tasks, is opensource, and even developed by an ex-Amiga junky!

As I suggested, it will happily open your DV files, perform the colour reduction process (along with any other filtering tweaks) and save out individual frames in an uncompressed format.

It is a powerful that takes a little time to get to grips with, yet will save you a considerable amount of time.

Regarding Japan, yes, this I have been here for over two years now, recently moving to the crazy hustle and bustle of Tokyo.  I doubt I would really class myself as an Amiga user anymore though, just the occasional pottering around with WinUAE to update AIAB every so often.
