DESCRIPTION
tcprobe is part of and usually called by transcode.
However, it can also be used independently.
tcprobe reads source (from stdin if not explicitely defined) and prints on the standard
output.
OPTIONS
-i name
Specify input source. If ommited, stdin is assumed.
You can specify a file, directory, device, mountpoint or host address as input
source. tcprobe usually handles the different types correctly.
-B Binary output to stdout for use in transcode.
-M 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.
-T title
Probe for DVD title
-H n This option tells tcprobe to scan n 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 n 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.
-s n Skip the first n bytes of the input stream. Default is to skip no bytes.
-b bitrate
Set audio encoder bitrate to bitrate
-f seekfile
Read index/seek information from seekfile. 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).
-d level
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:
QUIET 0
INFO 1
DEBUG 2
STATS 4
WATCH 8
FLIST 16
VIDCORE 32
SYNC 64
COUNTER 128
PRIVATE 256
-v Print version information and exit.
NOTES
tcprobe is a front end for probing various source types and is used in transcode's import
modules.
EXAMPLES
The command tcprobe -i foo.avi will print interesting information about the AVI file
itself and its video and audio content.
