I searched for all variants of "test material" for ff-card or "full featured" tv set vdr "test material" on the WWW to no avail. I only found [1] which also voices this wish.

There's a test picture I've made for exactly the same purpose on my web page:

Thanks a million, Udo!

However, its not a ready-made mpg video, though there's an avisynth script (windows only) that helps making one. And its a 4:3 only picture.

I searched a little on how to convert this on Debian GNU/Linux and the repository [1]. I am not satisfied with the result yet, but if someone else wants to try or knows about this here it is.

1. using mjpegtools # ppmtoy4m from mjpegtools, unfortunately it just take ppm files convert testpic.png testpic.ppm ppmtoy4m -F 50:1 -A 59:54 -I t -L -n 1000 -r testpic.ppm > output.y4m # there are a lot of artifacts

2. using mplayer

I just found [2] but I did not find an option to specify to only take this one file/image.

Thanks,

Paul
