oggz-rip(1)

oggz-rip1

Extract one or more logical bitstreams from an ogg file.

Usage

oggz-rip [{-o filename | --output filename}] filename

oggz-rip [{-h | --help}] [{-v | --version}]

Overview

oggz-rip extracts one or more tracks from an Ogg file. In Ogg terminology, oggz-rip extracts one or more logical bitstreams.

For example, to extract just the Vorbis audio track from any Ogg file:

oggz-rip -c vorbis input.ogx > output.ogg

This will remove any other tracks: Skeleton, Theora, image, etc. The output will be a valid Ogg Vorbis I file, suitable for use on hardware players that do not support multiplexed (ie. multi-track) Ogg files.

If the input file contains multiple bitstreams of the desired type, then they can be selected by serialno with the -s option. Use oggz-info to view the serialno of each track in a file.

Options

oggz-rip accepts the following options:

Miscellaneous options

-o, --output filename

Write output to the specified filename instead of printing it to standard output.

-h, --help

Display usage information and exit.

-v, --version

Output version information and exit.

Filter options

These options can be used multiple times. Pages matching ANY of the filter options will be included into the output.

-s, --serialno serialno

Output streams with given serialno.

-i, --stream-index index

Filter by stream index. These are assigned to streams in the order of their BOS pages, starting at 0.

-c, --content-type content-type

Filter by content-type. Run oggz-known-codecs(1) for a full list of codecs known by the installed version of oggz.

Examples

Extract all bitstreams from file.ogg:

oggz rip -o output.ogg file.ogg

Extract only the Theora bitstream from file.ogv:

oggz rip -c theora -o output.ogv file.ogv
