DESCRIPTION

       tccat is part of and usually called by transcode.
       However, it can also be used independently.
       tccat reads source (from stdin if not explicitely defined)
       and prints on the standard output. Directory  contents  is
       concatenated, if source files have the same format. Multi-
       ple AVI-files are also supported.

OPTIONS

       -i name
	      Specify  input  source.	If  ommited,   stdin   is
	      assumed.
	      You  can	specify a file, directory, device, mount-
	      point or host address as input source.  tccat  usu-
	      ally handles the different types correctly.

       -t magic
	      Tell tccat about the type of input.  Currently only
	      dvd is supported -  any  other  parameter	 will  be
	      ignored.

       -T title[,chapter[,angle]]
	      Select  DVD title and extract only a single chapter
	      with selected viewing angle.  Setting the	 argument
	      chapter  to -1 means to process all available chap-
	      ters on the DVD.
	      If this option is given, the input type of dvd will
	      also be assumed (see option -t).

       -L     This  option  tells tccat to loop through all chap-
	      ters starting at the one given with the option  -T.

       -S n   Seek  to	program	 stream (VOB) offset nx2kB before
	      starting output.

       -P     Stream full DVD title specified by -T.

       -a     Use this option to dump  an  AVI-file/socket  audio
	      stream.  The  default is to extract and concatenate
	      AVI-file video stream.

       -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

       tccat  is  a  front end for streaming various source types
       and is used in transcode's import modules.

EXAMPLES

       The command

       tccat -i /dev/dvd -T 1,-1 | mplayer -

       reads all chapters belonging to title 1 of a DVD (assuming
       that  /dev/dvd/	is  a symbolic link to a real DVD device)
       and pipes a MPEG program stream into player.
