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 connec-
       tion, writing standard video files as output.  guacenc  is  essentially
       an  implementation  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 bi-
       trate of	2000000	bits per second	(2 Mbps). These	defaults can be	 over-
       ridden 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 writ-
       ten. 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. Encoding 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 Guacamole sessions.
