Suppose you want to split matrix-trailer.mpg into 166 playable chunks with the basename mychunk
mpgtx -166 matrix-trailer.mpg -b mychunk Now processing Chunk 1/166 ... 100.00% Now processing Chunk 2/166 ... 92.79% [...]
You will then have 166 files named mychunk-001.mpg to mychunk-166.mpg
Now suppose you want to join file1 and file2 and to append the first 30 Megs of file3 followed by 30 mins of the same file starting at 1hour 10 mins, you want all these chunks into one file materoffactly called thejoinedfile.mpg (yeah suppose you're crazy enough to want to do so)
mpgtx -j file1 file2 file3 [-30M] [1:10:00-1:40:00] -o thejoinedfile.mpg Now processing Chunk 1/4 ... 100.00% Now processing Chunk 2/4 ... 100.00% Now processing Chunk 3/4 ... 100.00% Now processing Chunk 4/4 ... 100.00%
And there it is.
Hey why not deleting this annoying 5 minutes intro from movie.mpg?
mpgtx -s movie.mpg [5:00-] -b without_intro Now processing Chunk 1/1 ... 100.00%
And you've got your without_intro.mpg file
I want to split this file at 699 Megs so that it can fit on my Video CD!
mpgtx -s file {699M}
Now processing Chunk 1/2 ... 100.00%
Now processing Chunk 2/2 ... 45.31%Here are chunk-1.mpg and chunk-2.mpg (default basename is chunk)
I wonder about the display size and the duration of this mpegfile
mpgtx -i mpegfile mpegfile: Mpeg 2 System File [Video/Audio] Estimated Duration: 01:38:29.51s Aspect ratio 4/3 (TV) Not interlaced, chroma format: 4:2:0 Video Format: PAL Size [352 x 288] 25.00 fps 1.15 Mbps
User Data: ------------ encoded by TMPGEnc b12a ------------
Audio : Mpeg 1 layer 2 192 kbps 44100 Hz Stereo, No emphasis
What's inside this weird MPEG file?
mpginfo weird.tx
weird.tx:
Mpeg 2 Transport Stream [2 programs]
Program 2 contains 2 Elementary Streams:
Stream 1: MPEG 2 audio [pid: 59]
audio version 2
Stream 2: MPEG 2 video [pid: 58]
video version 1
Program 1 contains 2 Elementary Streams:
Stream 1: MPEG 2 audio [pid: 57]
audio version 2
Stream 2: MPEG 2 video [pid: 56]
video version 1Let's demux this transport file.
mpgdemux ../mmedia/teracom_3/Teracom_3 -b weird Demultiplexing : [Programs 02 audio 02 video 02] [100.00%]
and you will find four mpeg files :
weird-2-1.mp3 (Program 2 stream 1) weird-2-2.m2v (Program 2 stream 2) weird-1-1.mp3 (Program 1 stream 1) weird-1-2.m2v (Program 1 stream 2)
what about this wagner.mp3 ?
mpgtx -i wagner.mp3
wagner.mp3
Audio : Mpeg 2 layer 3

----------------mpgtx a command line MPEG audio/video/system file toolbox.
mpgtx was designed with the good old Unix philosophy in mind : do few but do it well and provide end user an austary yet powerfull command line interface.
Usage : mpgtx [command] [options] [mpegfile [mpegfile | range]...
Commands :
-i print infos about following files.
-s split following files according to the specified ranges.
-j join following files (ranges may be specified).
-d demultiplex elementary streams from following file
-T modify id3 tag.
-h print this help screen.
-v print version informations.
-# where # is a number, split the following file in #.
Options :
-N Do not print out excessive information while processing
If you use MacOS Classic, this is RECOMMENDED
Otherwise mpgtx will be dead slow!
-f force overwriting of files, don't ask for confirmation
-P keep headers of mpegs which sometimes is usefull
-X Try to search for a valid PACK header in the whole file
This may result in an endless loop if not successfull!
-An While joining or splitting, aspect ratio will be forced to:
n=1 -> 1:1, n=2 -> 4:3, n=3 -> 16:9, n=4 -> 2.21:1
-b NAME set the basename for the output files
-o FILE set the output file name (join implied)
if FILE is - , standard output will be used
--force force joining of incompatible files
--no-parachute don't try to catch SIGSEGV (usefull for debugging)
Ranges :
Ranges must follow an mpeg file
[a-b] from 'a' inclusive to 'b' inclusive. If you want half opened
ranges, you may want to use ]a-b], [a-b[ or ]a-b[ instead
[num/total] the 'num' part if the mpeg file was split in 'total'.
[1/4] would result in the first quarter of the mpeg file.
{a-b-...} where 'a', 'b', ... are in ascending order. Split the file
at given values. {700M} is therefore equivalent to ranges
[-700M] ]700M-]
Values :
Values can be time or offsets in the mpeg file
Time Format HH:MM:SS where the HH: part can be omited
Offset Format a number optionally followed by:
M : offset is in Megabytes
k : offset is in Kilobytes
An empty value means the corresponding file boundary:
[-10M] the first 10 Megabytes of file
[500M-] from 500 Megabytes to the end of file$ mpgtx movie1.mpg [-0:32] -o joined.mpg You must choose one options between -i -s -j Type mpgtx -h for help
$ mpgtx -j movie1.mpg [-0:32] -o joined.mpg Now processing movie1.mpg 1/1 ... 100.00%
$ rm joined.mpg; mpgtx -j movie1.mpg [8k-10k] -o joined.mpg Now processing movie1.mpg 1/1 ... 100.00%
$ rm joined.mpg; mpgtx -j movie1.mpg [-0:32] [8k-10k] -o joined.mpg [8k-10k] is not a valid mpeg file
$ mpgjoin movie1.mpg [-0:32] [15M-25M] -o joined.mpg [15M-25M] is not a valid mpeg file
$ mpgjoin movie1.mpg [-0:32] [15M-25M] movie2.mpg -o joined.mpg [15M-25M] is not a valid mpeg file
