+.SH COPYRIGHT
+\fBtcprobe\fP is Copyright (C) by Thomas Oestreich.
+.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:
+
+QUIET 0
+
+INFO 1
+
+DEBUG 2
+
+STATS 4
+
+WATCH 8
+
+FLIST 16
+
+VIDCORE 32
+
+SYNC 64
+
+COUNTER 128
+
+PRIVATE 256
+.IP "\fB-v\fP"
+Print version information and exit.
+.SH NOTES
+\fBtcprobe\fP is a front end for probing various source types and is used in \fBtranscode\fP's import modules.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The command
+.B tcprobe -i foo.avi
+will print interesting information about the AVI file itself and its video and
+audio content.
