PROGRAM:

NAME


tcscan - scan multimedia streams from medium and print information on the standard output

SYNOPSIS


tcscan -i name [ -x codec ] [ -e r[,b[,c]] ] [ -b bitrate ] [ -w num ] [ -f rate ] [ -d
verbosity ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION


tcscan is part of and usually called by transcode.
However, it can also be used independently.
tcscan 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. tcscan usually handles the different types correctly.

-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


tcscan is a front end for scaning various source types and is used in transcode's import
modules. tcscan does a complete scan of the source to gather information.

EXAMPLES


The command tcscan -i foo.avi prints header information about the AVI-file itself and
lists details on the video and audio content, e.g., keyframes, chunk structure.

The command cat audio.pcm | tcscan -x pcm -e 48000,16,2 simply determines the playtime
lenghth of the raw audio stream.

The command tcscan -x mp3 -i input.mp3 will print the number of chunks in the MP3 file and
the average bitrate.
