Convert .jpg to .bmp

[Kyler Carlson]

Hey. A script I found has this line.

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\pvw32con.exe " & '"' & $s_path & '"' & " -w --oo " & '"' & @WindowsDir & "\xwall.bmp" & '"', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

when I try and run it, I get this error

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Desktop\wall changer.au3 (85) : ==> Unable to execute the external program.: 
RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\pvw32con.exe " & '"' & $s_path & '"' & " -w --oo " & '"' & @WindowsDir & "\xwall.bmp" & '"', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) 
The system cannot find the file specified.

so does anybody know what pvw32con.exe is or a way to convert a .jpg file into a .bmp file. I didn't write the origional script and I want the conversion to be automated so don't tell me to open it in paint and then save it as a bpm please. Thanks for some help.

EDIT: I googled the file I was missing and found it. It now works.

you dont even have to convert the image, if you jsut open up the image, and lcick save as, then select bmp. file to save as...and overwirte old file

i'm looking for more of an automated way to do it with autoit though rather than manually opening it and saving it as a bmp because thats kind of impractical to do with potentially over 100 pictures

I'll recommend you a third-party tool with command line, as such IrfanView.

Example:

RunWait("i_view32.exe myGraphic01.jpg /convert=myGraphic01.bmp")

$pic = FileRead("test.jpg")
FileWrite("testconverted.bmp", $pic)

I didn't really think that would work, but i guess it does.

$pic = FileRead("test.jpg")
FileWrite("testconverted.bmp", $pic)

Not really (Isn't format conversion).

but the image works fine
