BLIND-SPLIT(1)		     General Commands Manual		  BLIND-SPLIT(1)

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 spec-
     ified 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 or-
     der.

     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 immediately.  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 in-
	    correct frame count written in its head. Depending 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).
