Feeding it a random .mpg file reports some lines like this:
import frame size: -g 352x240 [720x576] (*)
frame rate: -f 29.970 [25.000] frc=4 (*)
What the heck are the numbers inside the []?
They represent the (video) streams parameters that transcode expects from source.
In other words, they are defaults :)
That represent mostly a legacy issue, I'm thinking to remove them enterely for 1.1.0
It does say something about (*) meaning "not default",
are the numbers in the [] just the values tcprobe thinks
should be the defaults? (I guess they do look like PAL
numbers).
Yes, they are PAL defaults, since transcode was born in a PAL nation :)
P.S. If someone wants to add a description of what the
output means to the tcprobe man page, I wouldn't object :-).
That's a nice idea, I'll do it as soon as I get back again my internet link (groan)
