NAME
     guacenc - Guacamole video encoder

SYNOPSIS
     guacenc [-s WIDTHxHEIGHT] [-r BITRATE] [-f] [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
     guacenc  is a video encoder which accepts Guacamole protocol dumps, such as
     those saved when screen recording is enabled  on  a  Guacamole  connection,
     writing  standard	video files as output.	guacenc is essentially an imple-
     mentation of a Guacamole client which accepts its input from files  instead
     of  a  network  connection, and renders directly to video instead of to the
     user's screen.

     Each FILE specified will be encoded as MPEG-4 video to  a	new  file  named
     FILE.m4v, encoded according to the other options specified. By default, the
     output  video  will  be 640x480 pixels, and will be saved with a bitrate of
     2000000 bits per second (2 Mbps). These defaults can be overridden with the
     -s and -r options respectively. Existing files will not be overwritten; the
     encoding process for any input file will be aborted if it would  result  in
     overwriting an existing file.

     Guacamole acquires a write lock on recordings as they are being written. By
     default,  guacenc will check whether the each input file is locked and will
     refuse to read and encode an input file if it appears to be an  in-progress
     recording. This behavior can be overridden by specifying the -f option. En-
     coding  an  in-progress  recording  will still result in a valid video; the
     video will simply cover the user's session only up to the current point  in
     time.

OPTIONS
     -s WIDTHxHEIGHT
	    Changes  the  resolution  of  the video that guacenc renders. By de-
	    fault, this will be 640x480.

     -r BITRATE
	    Changes the bitrate that guacenc will use for the saved video.  This
	    is specified in bits per second. By default, this will be 2000000 (2
	    Mbps).  Higher values will result in larger but higher-quality video
	    files. Lower values will result in smaller but  lower-quality  video
	    files.

     -f     Overrides the default behavior of guacenc such that input files will
	    be	encoded even if they appear to be recordings of in-progress Gua-
	    camole sessions.
