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.
