NAME
     oggCut - extracts parts of an ogg file (.ogv, .ogg and .oga)

SYNOPSIS
     oggCut [options] inputfile outputfile

DESCRIPTION
     oggCut creates a new ogg file named outputfile as a subpart of the original
     file named inputfile

     oggCut  is able to cut video (theora) only files, audio (vorbis) only files
     or files with both video and audio streams.

     The start and end time for the cut area must be given in milliseconds  with
     the options -s and -e.

     As  a  video  stream  consists of I-frames (which are full pictures) and P-
     frames (which are delta pictures to the leading I-frame) the  oggCut  algo-
     rithm searches for the first I-frame. If a video file would start with a p-
     frame,  the player is not able to interpret this picture, as the leading I-
     frame (on where it is based) is not available.  oggCut starts  the  I-frame
     search  at the start time given by the -s option. So expect a shorter video
     time than the calculated seconds for the new file.

     oggCut does not do any reencoding, therefore the  output  quality	is  com-
     pletely the same as from the input file.

     For those involved into the ogg container format: The file is cut on packet
     basis, not on page basis.

     There  is	another  tool called oggCut out in the internet with a different
     synopis. This one has not been written by the author of this tool	you  are
     actually using.

OPTIONS
     -s     Cut start position in ms. If the input file is a video file, the cut
	    area starts with the next keyframe found. Default: 0

	    Example: -s 5000

     -l     Length of the cut area in ms. If -e is also given, the length is ig-
	    nored.

	    Example: -l 10000

     -e     Cut  end  position	in  ms.  If -l is also used, the end position is
	    prefered. If the end position is set to -1, the end of the stream is
	    assumed.

	    Default: -1

	    Example: -e 20000

     -i     Input file and output file set (alternative).  These parameters  can
	    be	used  alternatively. They are overwritten by the arguments after
	    the options. If there is one argument given, it is used as the input
	    file (and overwrites a file given with -i). If there are  two  argu-
	    ments,  the  input and output files from the -i and -o option values
	    are overwritten.

EXAMPLE
     oggCut -s 1000 -e 21000 myVideo.ogv myOutput.ogv

     Creates a new video called myOutput.ogv from the video myVideo.ogv starting
     after 1 second ending after 21 seconds
