Hi everybody .. I'm looking for a way to batch convert images into ascii files in order to produce ascii anims. I've found many websites providing high quality converters for singles images ... and I'm trying to get command line softwares allowing to process multiple files through a script. I use cygwin I was planning to use ImageMagick to convert image into a PxM format .. and then use aview to convert this PxM image into an ascii file .. But the problem is that aview doesn't give me hand back after execution .. (should I use expect to batch command it .. and then how to record result into a file?) Moreover .. I find aview output ugly compared to web converters (for instance white areas are filled with "@" intead of space as web converter usually do). Is there an option to ask aview to ouput white areas as space ? Is there a better software to do what I want to do ? I heard about "mplayer -vo aa " .. but aalib doesn't work with mplayer on my XP system .. and I don't know how to get them working together ..:( Please Help Jean-Baptiste ..
