ppmcentre is a dos-based application. You need to download the windows exe, and save it to a folder on your harddrive somewhere.

For example, c:\imaging

This is what I do:

When you capture avi's, put them in a folder like "c:\imaging\20060618-jup"

Each avi is created as "jup1.avi", "jup2.avi" etc.

Create BMP folders underneath that, for each of your avi's. So for example, you may capture 10 avi's. I create 10 BMP folders as such:
c:\imaging\20060618-jup\jup1bmp
c:\imaging\20060618-jup\jup2bmp
c:\imaging\20060618-jup\jup3bmp
.. and so on.

I run the avi through virtualdub and save the avi as an image sequence (of BMP's) and save them into their respective BMP directories. So "jup1.avi" gets saved as a set of BMP's to c:\imaging\20060618-jup\jup1bmp.

Then I run ppmcentre on that set of BMP's.

So open up a dos window (start -> run -> "cmd")

cd c:\imaging

ppmcentre [command line options] 20060618-jup/jup1bmp

It then goes through all BMP's in that directory and does its magic. Repeat for each BMP directory.

Hope that helps.
