|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B tcprobe
|
|
is part of and usually called by \fBtranscode\fP.
|
|
.br
|
|
However, it can also be used independently.
|
|
.br
|
|
\fBtcprobe\fP reads source (from stdin if not explicitely defined) and
|
|
prints on the standard output.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP "\fB-i \fIname\fP"
|
|
Specify input source. If ommited, \fIstdin\fP is assumed.
|
|
.br
|
|
You can specify a file, directory, device, mountpoint or host address
|
|
as input source. \fBtcprobe\fP usually handles the different types
|
|
correctly.
|
|
.IP "\fB-B\fP"
|
|
Binary output to stdout for use in transcode.
|
|
.IP "\fB-M\fP"
|
|
Use EXPERIMENTAL mplayer probe, useful for streams that tcprobe doesn't
|
|
recognize elsewhere. With this option enabled, tcprobe merely acts as
|
|
a frontend for mplayer; of course mplayer binary needs to be installed
|
|
and avalaible somewhere in PATH.
|
|
.IP "\fB-T \fItitle\fP"
|
|
Probe for DVD
|
|
.I title
|
|
.IP "\fB-H\fP \fIn\fP"
|
|
This option tells \fBtcprobe\fP to scan \fIn\fP MB of input data. Default
|
|
is to scan 1 MB. To detect all subtitles and audio tracks (if available) it is
|
|
highly recommended that this \fIn\fP should be at least increased to 10 or even
|
|
higher. Very often only some audio tracks start during the first MB of a VOB or
|
|
DVD file so transcode cannot detect them if not called with a higher value.
|
|
Please note that transcode(1) has a similar -H option as well which has the
|
|
same meaning.
|
|
.IP "\fB-s\fP \fIn\fP"
|
|
Skip the first \fIn\fP bytes of the input stream. Default is to skip no bytes.
|
|
.IP "\fB-b\fP \fIbitrate\fP"
|
|
Set audio encoder bitrate to \fIbitrate\fP
|
|
.IP "\fB-f \fIseekfile\fP"
|
|
Read index/seek information from \fIseekfile\fP. This is especially useful for
|
|
AVI files when it takes a long time to probe when there is no index in the AVI
|
|
available. Also see aviindex(1).
|
|
.IP "\fB-d\fP \fIlevel\fP"
|
|
With this option you can specify a bitmask to enable different levels
|
|
of verbosity (if supported). You can combine several levels by adding the
|
|
corresponding values:
