NAME

       esdots - Analyze the video items contained in an elementary stream

SYNOPSIS

       esdots [switches] <infile>

DESCRIPTION

              TS tools version 1.11, esdots built Nov 11 2008 17:15:46

              Present  the content of an H.264 (MPEG-4/AVC), H.262 (MPEG-2) or
              AVS elementary stream as a sequence of characters,  representing
              access units/MPEG-2 items/AVS items.  (Note that for H.264 it is
              access units and not frames that are represented, and for  H.262
              it is items and not pictures.)

   Files:
       <infile>
              is the Elementary Stream file (but see -stdin below)

   Switches:
       -verbose, -v
              Preface  the  output with an explanation of the characters being
              used.

       -stdin Take input from <stdin>, instead of a named file

       -max <n>, -m <n>
              Maximum number of entities to read

       -pes, -ts
              The input file is TS or PS, to be read via the  PES->ES  reading
              mechanisms

       -hasheos
              Print a # on finding an EOS (end-of-stream) NAL unit rather than
              stopping (only applies to H.264)

       -es    Report ES units, rather than any ’higher’ unit (not  necessarily
              suppported for all file types)

       -gop   Show  the  duration  of  each  GOP  (for  MPEG-2  steams) OR the
              distance between random access points (H.264)

       -fr    Set the video frame rate (default = 25 fps)

   Stream type:
              If input is from a file, then the program will look at the start
              of  the  file to determine if the stream is H.264 or H.262 data.
              This process may occasionally come to the wrong  conclusion,  in
              which  case the user can override the choice using the following
              switches.

              For AVS data, the program will never  guess  correctly,  so  the
              user must specify the file type, using -avs.

              If  input  is  from  standard input (via -stdin), then it is not
              possible for the program to make its own decision on  the  input
              stream  type.   Instead, it defaults to H.262, and relies on the
              user indicating if this is wrong.

       -h264, -avc
              Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-4/AVC.

       -h262  Force the program to treat the input as MPEG-2.

       -avs   Force the program to treat the input as AVS.
