Package transcode: Information

transcode  is a linux text-console utility for video stream
processing.

Decoding and encoding is done by loading modules that are
responsible for feeding transcode with raw video/audio streams (import
modules) and encoding the frames (export modules).

It supports elementary video and audio frame transformations, including
de-interlacing or fast resizing of video frames and loading of external
filters.

A number of modules are included to enable import of DVDs
on-the-fly, MPEG elementary (ES) or program streams (VOB), MPEG video,
Digital Video (DV), YUV4MPEG streams, NuppelVideo file format and raw or
compressed (pass-through) video frames and export modules for writing
DivX;-), OpenDivX, DivX 4.xx or uncompressed AVI files with MPEG, AC3
(pass-through) or PCM audio. Additional export modules to write single
frames (PPM) or YUV4MPEG streams are available, as well as an interface
import module to the avifile library. It's modular concept is intended
to provide flexibility and easy user extensibility to include other
video/audio codecs or filetypes.

A set of tools is included to demux (tcdemux), extract (tcextract) and
decode (tcdecode) the sources into raw video/audio streams for import,
probing (tcprobe) and scanning (tcscan) your sources and to enable
post-processing of AVI files, fixing AVI file header information
(avifix), merging multiple files (avimerge) or splitting large AVI files
(avisplit) to fit on a CD.
