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. +.PP +.SH AUTHORS +.B tcprobe +was written by Thomas Oestreich +.br +<ostreich@theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de> with contributions from +many others.
