✨ ogmdemux(1) — the ogmdemux manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so you opened the manual for ogmdemux and honestly? iconic choice. this is a User Commands page, and we're gonna get you fluent in it. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ogmdemux — pull streams out of OGG/OGM files and drop them into their own separate files. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it beautifully. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ogmdemux [options] inname

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this program extracts all of the streams — or just some of them, your call — from an OGM, and writes each one out to its own separate file. slay.

the actual options, let's go 🫶

• inname — use inname as the source. that's your input file, babe.
• -o, --output out — use out as the base for the destination file names. then -v1, -v2, -a1, -t1... get appended onto it. default: it just uses inname. 💫
• -a, --astream n — extract the audio stream you specify. yes, you can use this more than once. default: extract all the streams.
• -d, --vstream n — extract the video stream you specify. can also be used more than once. default: extract all the streams.
• -t, --tstream n — extract the text stream you specify. again, more than once is fine. default: extract all the streams.
• -na, --noaudio — don't extract any audio streams. nope, none, not today. 🙈
• -nv, --novideo — don't extract any video streams.
• -nt, --notext — don't extract any text streams. default: extract all streams. (yes bestie, all three of those defaults really do say the same thing, i don't make the rules ✨)
• -r, --raw — extract the raw streams only. default: extract to useful formats instead (AVI, WAV, OGG, SRT...).
• -v, --verbose — increase verbosity. she gets chattier. 🗣️
• -h, --help — show this help.
• -V, --version — show the version number.

👑 NOTES 👑

okay let's do a vibe check on what actually works here. 🧚

what works ✅

• extraction of the following formats is fully supported, including writing the stream contents to useful container formats:

video  -> AVI
Vorbis -> OGG/Vorbis
PCM    -> WAV
text   -> text files (SRT subtitle format)

• all other audio streams (MP3, AC3) are just copied 1:1 into output files. MP3 and AC3 files should be usable. others might not be. 😭

what not works 💀

• headers created by older OggDS (DirectShow) filter versions are not supported — and probably never will be. not me being dramatic, that's just the truth fr fr.
