DESCRIPTION

       tcextract is part of and usually called by transcode.
       However, it can also be used independently.
       tcextract  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.	tcextract reads streams from file or from
	      stdin.

       -C s-e extract and print	 out  only  this  frame	 interval
	      (video) or bytes (audio) [all]. This option is only
	      supported if the source contains proper information
	      to perform a selective extraction.

       -t magic
	      source  file magic. This option is used to identify
	      the source file format if reading is performed from
	      stdin  or	 tcextract  fails  to identify the source
	      file format. Supported  formats  are  labeled  with
	      magic:

	      avi	RIFF AVI-file

	      vob	MPEG program streams

	      m2v	MPEG elementary video stream

	      vdr	MPEG digital video recording

	      raw	raw bitstream

	      wav	RIFF WAVE audio

	      yuv4mpeg	mjpeg-tools stream header format

       -x codec
	      source  pdeudo-codec,  if not detected when reading
	      from  stdin.  Currently,	supported  parameter  for
	      codec are

	      mp3	MPEG audio

	      ac3	AC3 audio

	      a52	A52 audio

	      dv	Digital Video DV

	      mpeg2	     MPEG video

	      yv12	Y'CbCr YUV

	      rgb	RGB 24-bit

	      ps1	MPEG private stream (subtitles)

	      pcm	raw audio stream

       -a track
	      extract  selected audio or video track from source.

       -d level
	      With this option	you  can  specify  a  bitmask  to
	      enable  different	 levels	 of  verbosity	(if  sup-
	      ported).	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

       tcextract  is  a	 front	end for extracting various raw or
       encoded audio/video tracks from a source and  is	 used  in
       transcode's import pipeline.

EXAMPLES

       The command tcextract -i foo.avi -x mp3 -a 3 extracts MPEG
       audio track 3 from the AVI-file	foo.avi	 and  prints  the
       bitstream to stdout.
