MPEG2DESC(1)

🎀 MPEG2DESC(1) 🎀

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about mpeg2desc — a lil tool from the DVDAuthor Man Pages collection that multiplexes audio/video streams. no cap. it's giving "tiny utility, huge job" energy and i'm obsessed 💖

✨ NAME ✨

mpeg2desc — multiplex audio/video streams 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mpeg2desc [ -a stream ] [ -v stream ] [ -o FILE ] [ -s  ] [ -m  ] [ -h
] [ < movie.mpg ... ]

like yes, she takes options, and yes, she reads from stdin if you feed her a file 🍓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically? mpeg2desc multiplexes audio and video streams. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she takes your streams and she muxes them together, main character energy only 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a stream — output audio stream (0 .. 31) to stdout 🎧
• -v stream — output video stream (0 .. 15) to stdout 📹
• -o FILE — output the previous stream to FILE instead of stdout (not me changing my mind about where the stream goes 😭)
• -s — skip to first valid header — this one ensures mplex can handle output ✨
• -m — output mplex offset to stdout 📏
• -u — do not output messages about unrecognized headers 🤫 (she's shy about unknown headers, respect it)
• -h — show short help 🫶

✨ USAGE ✨

mpeg2desc mpeg2desc [options] < movie.mpg

yeah, it says mpeg2desc twice, and yeah, we're keeping it exactly like that because the manpage said so and the manpage is iconic 👑

✨ CAVEATS ✨

None. literally zero. no caveats. she's unproblematic fr fr 🌸

✨ BUGS ✨

None. no bugs either?? we love a flawless queen 💜
