ORIGINAL POSTING

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/texturetool -e PVRTC --bits-per-pixel-2 -o left.pvr left.PNG

The file must be a PNG

In Terminal, hit cd to make sure you're in your root directory.

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ && ls

This should show you a list of all the tools there (Make sure you see texturetool) - If you don't, update your OS, then Xcode

Once you know it's there, cd back to your root and run the tool like:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/texturetool -e PVRTC --bits-per-pixel-4 -f PVR -o [new path to pvr to go] [path of original png]

Your output pvr path can be ~/whatever/image.pvr and your input png is the path to your image to be converted.
