               [-framesize] [-frametype] [-x]  [-max  max-units  |  -m  max_units]  [-pes  |  -ts]  [-pesreport]
               [-h264 | -avc | -h262 | -avs] in_file | -stdin

DESCRIPTION

       Report  on the content of an elementary stream containing H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC), H.262 (MPEG-2) or AVS video
       data.

   Files
       in_file
               is the Elementary Stream file (but see -stdin below)

   What to report
       The default is to report on H.262 items, AVS frames or H.264 NAL units.  Other choices are:

       -frames
               Report by frames. The default for AVS.

       -findfields
               Report on any fields in the data. Ignored for AVS.

       -afd    Report (just) on AFD changes in H.262. Ignored for the other types of file.

       -es     Report on ES units.

       Reporting on frames may be modified by:

       -framesize
               Report on the sizes of frames (mean, etc.).

       -frametype
               Report on the numbers of different type of frame.

       (in fact, both of these imply -frame).

   Switches
       -err stdout
               Write error messages to standard output (the default)

       -err stderr
               Write error messages to standard error (Unix traditional)

       -stdin  Input from standard input, instead of a file

       -v, -verbose
               For H.262 data, output information about the data in each  MPEG-2  item.  For  ES  units,  output
               information about the data in each ES unit. Ignored for H.264 data.

       -q, -quiet
               Only output summary information (i.e., the number of entities in the file, statistics, etc.)

       -x      Show details of each NAL unit as it is read.

       -stdin  Take input from <stdin>, instead of a named file

       -max max_units, -m max_units
               Maximum  number  of  NAL  units/MPEG-2  items/AVS  frames/ES  units to read. If -frames, then the
               program will stop after that many frames. If reading 'frames', MPEG-2 and  AVS  will  also  count
               sequence headers and sequence end.

       -pes, -ts
               The input file is TS or PS, to be read via the PES to ES reading mechanisms

       -pesreport
               Report on PES headers. Implies -pes and -q.

   Stream type:
       If  input  is from a file, then the program will look at the start of the file to determine if the stream
       is H.264, H.262 or AVS data. This process may occasionally come to the wrong conclusion,  in  which  case
       the user can override the choice using the following switches.

       If  input  is  from  standard input (via -stdin), then it is not possible for the program to make its own
       decision on the input stream type.  Instead, it defaults to H.262, and relies on the user  indicating  if
       this is wrong.

       -h264, -avc
               Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-4/AVC.

       -h262   Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-2.

       -avs    Force the program to treat the input as AVS.
