NAME
ecalength - prints audio file length and other information SYNOPSIS
ecalength [-ahtsfmbcr] FILE1 [FILE2] [FILEn] DESCRIPTION
This is ecalength, a few lines of code pompously named so because they let one retrieve the length of an audio file from the command line using ecasound's engine. Limitations: - With files without header information (raw files), ecalength will only work correctly if the audio file is at a sampling rate of 44100 hz. (Addressed with the -a switch.) - It is not foolproof, feeding it with something other than an audio file WILL result in ugly things being spewed back. (A bit bet- ter) - A thousand more that I haven't thought of. OPTIONS
-h Prints this usage message. (help) -a[:]bits,channels,rate Changes the format assumed by default for headerless data. (adjust) -t Prints the summed length of all the files processed. (total) (Ignored if with -s) -s Enables script mode: One info type per file per line. (script) (Defaults to length in secs.) -f With -s will return the format string as info, alone it will add it to the main display. (format) -b If -s and -f are enabled with this the info printed will be the sample's bitwidth. (bits) -c If -s and -f are enabled with this the info printed will be the channel count. (channel count) -r If -s and -f are enabled with this the info printed will be the sampling rate. (rate) -m Will print human computable time as in main display but in batch fashion. (minutes) (Only with -s) SEE ALSO

NAME
esmerge - merge audio and video ES into a TS DESCRIPTION
Usage: esmerge [switches] <video-file> <audio-file> <output-file> TS tools version 1.11, esmerge built Nov 11 2008 17:15:46 Merge the contents of two Elementary Stream (ES) files, one containing video data, and the other audio, to produce an output file containing Transport Stream (TS). Files: <video-file> is the ES file containing video. <audio-file> is the ES file containing audio. <output-file> is the resultant TS file. Switches: -quiet, -q Only output error messages. -verbose, -v Output information about each audio/video frame. -x Output diagnostic information. -h264 The video stream is H.264 (the default) -avs The video stream is AVS -vidrate <hz> Video frame rate in Hz - defaults to 25Hz. -rate <hz> Audio sample rate in Hertz - defaults to 44100, i.e., 44.1KHz. -cd Equivalent to -rate 44100 (CD rate), the default. -dat Equivalent to -rate 48000 (DAT rate). -adts The audio stream is ADTS (the default) -l2 The audio stream is MPEG layer 2 audio -mp2adts The audio stream is MPEG-2 style ADTS regardless of ID bit -mp4adts The audio stream is MPEG-4 style ADTS regardless of ID bit -ac3 The audio stream is Dolby AC-3 in ATSC -patpmtfreq <f> PAT and PMT will be inserted every <f> video frames. by default, f = 0 and PAT/PMT are inserted only at the start of the output stream. Limitations =========== For the moment, the video input must be H.264 or AVS, and the audio input ADTS, AC-3 ATSC or MPEG layer 2. Also, the audio is assumed to have a constant number of samples per frame. esmerge <video-file> <audio-file> <output-file> TS tools version 1.11, esmerge built Nov 11 2008 17:15:46 Merge the contents of two Elementary Stream (ES) files, one containing video data, and the other audio, to produce an output file containing Transport Stream (TS).
