NAME

     esreverse — Report on the contents of an ES

SYNOPSIS

     esreverse [-err stdout] [-err stderr] [-verbose | -v] [-quiet | -q] [-host host[:port]]
               [-max max_frames | -m max_frames] [-freq frame_freq] [-tsout] [-pes -|-ts]
               [-server] [-x] [-h264 | -avc | -h262] in_file out_file | -stdout

DESCRIPTION

     Output a reversed stream derived from the input H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC) or H.262 (MPEG-2)
     elementary stream.

     If output is to an H.222 Transport Stream, then fixed values for the PMT PID (0x66) and
     video PID (0x68) are used.

   Files
     in_file
             is the input elementary stream.

     out_file
             is the output stream, either an equivalent elementary stream, or an H.222 Transport
             Stream (but see Fl stdout No and Fl host below).

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

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

     -v, -verbose
             Output additional (debugging) messages

     -q, -quiet
             Only output error messages

     -stdout
             Write output to <stdout>, instead of a named file. Forces -quiet and -err stderr.

     -host host[:port]
             Writes output (over TCP/IP) to the named <host>, instead of to a named file. If
             <port> is not specified, it defaults to 88. Implies -tsout.

     -max max_frames | -m max_frames
             Maximum number of frames to read

     -freq frame_freq
             Specify the frequency of frames to try to keep when reversing. Defaults to 8.

     -tsout  Output H.222 Transport Stream

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

     -server
             Also output as normal forward video as reversal data is being collected. Implies
             -pes and -tsout.

     -x      Temporary extra debugging information

   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 or H.262 data. This process may occasionally come to the wrong
     conclusion, in which case the user can override the choice using the following switches.

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

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