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. Multiple AVI-files are also supported.

OPTIONS

       -i name
              Specify input source.  If ommited, stdin is assumed.
              You can specify a file, directory, device, mountpoint or host  address  as  input  source.   tccat
              usually 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 chapters 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 chapters 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 supported).
              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.
