✨ NAME ✨

mpeg2dec — decode MPEG and MPEG2 video streams 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mpeg2dec [-h] [-s [track]] [-t pid] [-c] [-o mode] [file]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like, mpeg2dec displays MPEG1 and MPEG2 video stream. that's the whole vibe. it takes ur stream and it SHOWS it. main character behaviour fr fr. 💅

and the input situation? if you don't hand it a file, it reads from stdin. so it's giving "pipe me anything, i'll handle it." iconic.

• -h — display help and available video modes. like, hello?? it's the girl who tells you what she can do. read it. 🫶
• -s — use program stream demultiplexer, track 0-0xf or 0xe0-0xef. pick ur track, bestie. 🎀
• -t pid — use transport stream demultiplexer, pid 0x10-0x1ffe. different demuxer, different energy. 🦋
• -c — use c implementation, disables all accelerations. this is the no-frills, no-zoomies mode. it still works, it's just not flexing. 😭
• -o mode — use video output driver mode. a list of modes is available using the -h option. so like... go ask -h if you wanna know ur options, i'm not your mom. 💀
