This page will show the steps to convert yuv frames to sgi

1. If you want to convert a single frame do this:
   %yuvtoppm 720 486 my.yuv | pnmtosgi > my.sgi

   The above numbers are necessary and of course replace my.yuv and my.sgi with the name of the file you wish to convert.

2. If you want to convert many frames use the program 'iterate':
   %iterate

   Hopefully, the frames you want to convert are in numerical order (1.yuv, 2.yuv, ...., 1843.yuv). Press the help button for iterate for more details.

3. Now the frame or frames have been converted to .sgi files. These files can be viewed and further converted with xv.
