tcprobe -i "$mfilm"

-v|--verbose num

Set verbosity level to num.  0 = warnings and errors only, 1 = informa-
tion as well, 2=really verbose.

-I|--interlace-mode 0|1|2

Set  the  sequence picture structure and block encoding type for MPEG-2
streams.  By default, this value is inferred from the  interlacing  tag
of  the input stream. Setting 0 encodes frame-by-frame with support for
interlaced video turned off, and specifies that progressive chroma sub-
sampling  has  been used.  Setting 1 encodes frame-by-frame with inter-
lace-adapted motion compensation and block encoding, and specifies that
interlaced  chroma  subsampling has been used. Setting 2 encodes inter-
laced material field-by-field, which will produce more accurate results
for  highly  textured  interlaced  material with lots of motion, at the
expense of generally less efficiency.

This setting should  match  the  interlaced-ness  of  the  input
stream,  otherwise  chroma  artifacts  may be generated when the
MPEG stream is played back.

-f|--format 0
        -       Generic MPEG1.
-f|--format 1
        -       Standard VCD.
-f|--format 3
        -       Generic MPEG2.
-f|--format 4
        -       Standard SVCD.
-f|--format 8
        -       DVD MPEG-2 for 'dvdauthor'
-f|--format 9
        -       DVD MPEG-2.

-F|--frame-rate num

Set  the  frame-rate  of  the  output-stream. By default, this value is
inferred from the input header. Currently only the standard MPEG  rates
are  supported.  Eventually more-or-less arbitrary rates will be possi-
ble.
 0 - illegal
 1 - 24000.0/1001.0 (NTSC 3:2 pulldown converted FILM)
 2 - 24.0 (NATIVE FILM)
 3 - 25.0 (PAL/SECAM VIDEO / converted FILM)
 4 - 30000.0/1001.0 (NTSC VIDEO)
 5 - 30.0
 6 - 50.0 (PAL FIELD RATE)
 7 - 60000.0/1001.0 (NTSC FIELD RATE)
 8 - 60.0

-n|--video-norm n|p|s

Force  the  input  stream to be treated as NTSC|PAL|SECAM regardless of
what the stream header might suggest.  Basically  this  just  sets  the
defaults for a bunch of other options.

-a|--aspect num

Set the playback aspect ratio code of the encoded  video.  By  default,
this value is inferred from the input header.
 1 - 1  - 1:1 display
 2 - 2  - 4:3 display
 3 - 3  - 16:9 display
 4 - 4  - 2.21:1 display

For  MPEG-2  the  specified aspect ratios are used directly. For
MPEG-1 mpeg2enc infers the MPEG-1 pixel  aspect  code  from  the
video norm specified and the specified playback aspect ratio.

-s|--sequence-header-every-gop

This flag forces the encoder to generate a  "sequence  header"  at  the
start  of every group-of-pictures.  This is needed by some player hard-
ware to support fast forward/rewind/random access functions  but  is  a
waste of bits otherwise.

-s     Force  stereo  output.   A  mono input signal is channel doubled
       before encoding to make it stereo.  This is useful for many MPEG
       players which simply can't handle a non-stero signal.

-c f1-f2[,f3-f4[, ... ] ]
       encode only frames f1-f2 [and f3-f4]. Default is to  encode  all
       available  frames.   Use  this  and  you'll get statistics about
       remaining encoding time. The f[N] parameters may also  be  time-
       codes in the HH:MM:SS.FRAME format. Example:
       -c 500-0:5:01,:10:20-1:18:02.1

Will encode only from frame 500 to 5 minutes and 1 second
and from 10 min, 20 sec to 1 hour, 18 min, 2 sec and  one
frame.

Note that transcode starts counting frames at 0 and excludes the
last frame specified. That means that "-c  0-100"  will  encoded
100 frames starting at frame 0 up to frame 99

-T t[,c[,a]]
       select DVD title[,chapter[,angle]] [1,1,1]. Only a single  chap-
       ter  is  transcoded.  Use  -T 1,-1 to trancode all chapters in a
       row. You can even specify chapter ranges.

--export_prof S
       Select an export profile {vcd, svcd, dvd} [none]
       If  you  set  this  meta  option  to  one  of  the values below,
       transcode will adjust some internal paramaters as well as geome-
       try  and  clipping. If no export modules are specified, mpeg2enc
       for video and mp2enc for  audio  are  used  when  compiled  with
       mjpegtools support.

Valid  values  for S are vcd, vcd-pal, vcd-ntsc, svcd, svcd-pal,
svcd-ntsc, dvd, dvd-pal and dvd-ntsc.

When one of the above is  used,  transcode  will  calculate  the
needed  clipping and resizing values for you based on the import
and export aspect ratio. This is especially handy if you want to
encode a 16:9 DVD into a 4:3 SVCD for example.  Transcode inter-
nally then sets --pre_clip to add the  black  bars  ("letterbox-
ing").

If  you  use "vcd" instead of "vcd-pal" or "vcd-ntsc", transcode
will make an educated guess if PAL or NTSC vcd  is  wanted.  The
same  is  true  for "svcd" and "dvd". When the input file has no
aspect ratio information at all, transcode guesses it  based  on
the  import  frame sizes. You can set the import aspect ratio by
giving --import_asr CODE.

--export_asr C
       set export aspect ratio code C [as input]

Valid codes for C are
----------------------
1                 1:1
2                 4:3
3                16:9
4              2.21:1
