NAME

       movie-rip-epg.data - Gathers information from VDR's epg.data file

SYNOPSIS

       movie-rip-epg.data [-t title_mode] [-l language] < /some/where/epg.data > my_movie.info

DESCRIPTION

       The  movie-rip-epg.data program is a convenience program that can gather information about
       a movie from VDR's epg.data file.  The program gathers its information from  the  epg.data
       file  that  is  produced  by  VDR when it records a program for you, hence the name of the
       program.

       The program reads its  information  from  standard  input,  so  you  should  redirect  the
       program's input from the epg.data file that VDR produced when it recorded your movie.

       The program writes its gathered information to standard output, so you should redirect the
       program's output into a file called my_movie.info (where my_movie.mpg is the file that was
       generated by VDR).

OPTIONS

       The following options are available:

       -t title_mode
              Sets  the  title  mode.   With  this  option,  you  can determine which part of the
              epg.data file will become the title that is used in  the  DVD  menu  that  will  be
              created by movie-title.

              Possible values are:
              title   This will simply use the "T" line in the file.
              short   This will simply use the "S" line in the file.
              squote  This will use the quoted part of the "S" line.
              auto    This will try to autodetect what to use.

              The title setting is the default if you don't specify -t.

       -l language
              Sets  the  language of the title headings that are produced in the .info file.  The
              default is English, which will  use  the  headings  Title,  Short  description  and
              Synopsis.

              You  may  either  specify english, french or dutch or specify your language's words
              for title, short description and synopis (or long description), separated  by  pipe
              signs (|).

              For example: ... -l "Title|Short description|Synopsis" ... could be used instead of
              english.

EXAMPLE

       The command line format that I use most often is:

              movie-rip-epg.data -t auto < epg.data > movie.info
