comiclrf - Comics(CBZ) to LRF converter - Page 5

nesagwa · 08-27-2007, 06:21 PM

Can you explain the syntax for how to use the -t and -a options?

Ive tried both of these ways:

comiclrf.pl -t "Comic Name" "C:\Comic.cbz" and
comiclrf.pl "C:\Comic.cbz" -t "Comic Name"

Both with and without quotes. Im obviously doing something wrong.

banjopicker, can you post a typical command line that fails?

Sorry for the delay Fangorn, I will get command lines and outputs to you sometime this weekend.

Have you by any chance tried PDFLRF? It does support .cbz. I would be really interested in how well it handles .cbz.

FangornUK, is there any way to have the program convert a batch of cbr/cbz files into one large lrf file? It would be great to have one large file on the Reader instead of lots of individual files.

FangornUK · 09-24-2007, 02:50 PM

Is that really useful? Most of my Comic files are very large and combining them would probably make them too big. I think it is 64MBytes limit but I might be wrong. It would mean a major rewrite to do that anyway.

I agree, too many is not practical. I was thinking about doing 10 issues per file, that way it is more organized on the Reader and just looks more clean. Not a big deal, just the organizational freak in me wanting folders and sub-menus on the Reader.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to FangornUK. comiclrf is the only thing that let me painlessly convert scanlations. I tried Manga2Ebook and another one or two and they all mangled the output into lrf's that are nowhere as good as the ones I get with comiclrf. And the alternatives took so much more effort for a poorer reading experience.

Funny you said that, as Manga2Ebook converts to pdf only and not directly to lrf.

I ran them through PDFRead afterward. I also tried JE Comics and JAP (Just Another Printer). Various issues included not being able to center justify the page, extra whitespace and dissatisfaction with image quality regardless of settings.

that's more because you don't know the correct settings for pdfread then.
For starters, don't let it autocrop.
And besides, rasterfarian was and is still recommended above pdfread.

There is a reason why manga2ebook only makes pdf-files....

Try out pdflrf. I've added a bunch more options for processing comic files. I'm interested in any feedback.

I have to give kudos to comiclrf, it works like a dream. I haven't got the reader yet but I was able to batch convert a bunch of comics and the B&W output looks great on the connect desktop reader.

This program's one of the things that's making the Sony Reader that much more viable a choice for me.

Hello All, I am having problems running this program. I have installed the perl per the readme using the default directory. I have installed ImageMagick-6.3.6-10 using defualt setup. Comiclrf is in C:\comiclrf

I have run the command:

comiclrf.pl "c:\comiclrf\test.cbr" and I get the following error:

Unknown open() mode '>:raw:encoding(UTF16-LE):crlf:utf8' at D:\comiclrf\comiclrf
.pl line 152.

any ideas?

Thanks,
Lockery

FangornUK · 11-12-2007, 10:09 AM

You installed ActivePerl with all the default options?

lockery · 11-12-2007, 11:30 AM

Correct. I have tried running it from c and d drive. the above error message came from running on d drive. I am not familiar with perl, so I am not sure what the above message is stating.
