-n NTSC output required.
-a Maintain aspect ratio when scaling images.
-s Scale images to the full frame size, regardless of aspect ratio
-w Wide screen output (default: off).

EXAMPLES
ppm2raw needs a PPM input provided on stdin. Fortunately, many tools
generate PPM on stdout.
For example, to re-encode any ffmpeg compatible file or stream format
to a PAL Raw DV stream which rescales the images according to the
aspect ratio of the input using the following command:
ffmpeg -i 'some-file' -f ppmpipe - |
ppm2raw -a > file.dv
For NTSC, you would add -n to the ppm2raw command.
