NAME
       blind-split - Split a video, by frame, into multiple videos

SYNOPSIS
       blind-split [-L]	(file (end-point | 'end')) ...

DESCRIPTION
       blind-split  reads  a video from	stdin and splits into multiple videos.
       Starting	from the first frame in	stdin, it write	a video	to  the	 first
       specified  file	until  the  first specified end-point number of	frames
       have been written.  blind-split the proceeds  to	 write	the  following
       frames to the next specified file until a total of end-point frames has
       been  written (that is, including all previous videos), where end-point
       is the associated end-point.  If	'end' is used  instead	of  end-point,
       blind-split  will proceed until the end of the input video. If you want
       to discard a section of the video, you can specify the file /dev/null.

       All specified end-points, including 'end' must be in strictly ascending
       order.

       The specified files may be of any  type,	 except	 directory,  including
       pipes  and  FIFO:s. Indeed you probably want all	of the to be pipes, as
       saving a	raw video to disc will probably	fill your disc almost  immedi-
       ately.  If you are levering the power of	make(1)	to only	rerended parts
       you have	changes, you can pipe the  videos  into	 blind-to-video(1)  to
       compress	them. If you're	shall does not support process substitution or
       creating	anonymous pipes, you can uses FIFO:s. If you try to truncate a
       FIFO,  it  will	be flushed, if this is done after all writes have been
       done, the process reading from the FIFO will think that there no	longer
       are any processes that have it open for writing,	assuming it, like  all
       blind  tools, have been written to treat	the file as any	a regular file
       (which is usually have pipes are	also treated).

OPTIONS
       -L     Ignore the number	of frames specified in	the  videos  head  and
	      read  until  the	end  or	the last desired frame is reached.  If
	      this option is used in combination with 'end',  the  last	 video
	      will  have an incorrect frame count written in its head. Depend-
	      ing on what tools	you will being using, you  may	need  to  save
	      that  video into a regular file and rewrite its head with	blind-
	      rewrite-head(1).
