IFF2CLIP.EXE

This is a preliminary 24-bit IFF to Flyer clip converter for the PC!!
The program takes four (optionally five) arguments:
<source_frames_basename>
Basename of your 24-bit IFFs. (minus the 3-digit frame number)
example: D:\my_cool_anim\Frame
The clip converter will append a three digit number to the basename.
NOTE: All frames must be 752 x 480 x 24-bit or this will not work.
<flyer_clip_name>
The name of the flyer clip to output.
<startframe>
The starting frame number for the first frame of the clip.
example: if "startframe" is 201, iff2clip will create the clip
starting with the source frame "D:\my_cool_anim\Frame201"
<num_frames>
The number of frames to output. This MUST BE AN EVEN NUMBER or
IFF2CLIP will generate an unusable flyer clip.
[quality_setting] - optional.
A number in the range 122 - 156 to create a clip that will play
on non-HQ5 drives. The default is 156, or HQ5 mode. I suggest
using the value of 122 for flyer drives that can't handle HQ5 mode.
Known problems:
There is no error reporting. The program will print the frame numbers
as it compiles the clip. If all of them were read, the clip is most
likely valid, although there is a small chance for corruption after
writing the last frame if disk space is low.
IFF2CLIP is incapable of generating a flyer clip greater than two
gigabytes in size. You will need to make several smaller clips.
IFF2CLIP will only create a valid flyer clip if there is an even number
of frames in the animation. If you have an odd number of frames, dupe
the last frame (i.e. copy "MyAnim153" to "MyAnim154")
