I'm very new to transcode, but need something that will detect whether
or not a video I have has a silent audio track or not. I'm having
trouble making heads or tails of transcode and there isn't much for
detectsilence on google.

Here is the command I'm using:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] transcode-1.0.3]# transcode -i
/home/cyrus/Desktop/test.avi -J detectsilence

the output is mostly gibberish to me (below).

Most of output comes from libavcodec, looks like source isn't exactly
clean and nice.

Any ideas about how to
interpret this? Is it possible to get just a "true" or "false" value
about whether the audio track is silent?

Maybe other filters will help, detectsilence doesn't do what one can expect:
more precisely it builds a cutlist to be used with tcmp3cut, name is
misleading I think.
Anyway, I'll see what I can do since this looks like an interesting
single afternoon effort.
maybe detectsilence deserves a revamp. Stay tuned.
