NAME

       postproc - Re-sync or re-quantize an MPEG file

DESCRIPTION

       postproc  is designed to do simple post-processing on MPEG video files,
       such as those generated by tovid. It can adjust audio/video  sync,  and
       re-quantize (shrink) without re-encoding.

USAGE

       postproc [OPTIONS] IN_FILE OUT_FILE

OPTIONS

       -audiodelay NUM
              Delay  the  audio  stream  by NUM milliseconds. Use this if your
              final output has audio that is not synced with  the  video.  For
              example, if the audio comes 2 seconds sooner than the video, use
              "-audiodelay 2000". Use a negative number for audio  that  comes
              later than the video.

       -normalize
              Analyze  the  audio  stream and then normalize the volume of the
              audio.  This is useful if the audio is too quiet or too loud, or
              you  want  to  make  volume  consistent  for  a bunch of videos.
              Similar to running normalize without any parameters. The default
              is -12dB average level with 0dB gain.

       -amplitude NUM[dB]
              In  addition to analyzing and normalizing, apply the gain to the
              audio such that the 'average' (RMS) sound level  is  NUM.  Valid
              values range 0.0 - 1.0, with 0.0 being silent and 1.0 being full
              scale. Use NUMdB for  a  decibel  gain  below  full  scale  (the
              default without -amplitude is -12dB).

       -shrink NUM
              Shrink  the  video  stream  by a factor of NUM. May be a decimal
              value. A value of 1.0 means the video will  be  the  same  size;
              larger  values  cause  more  reduction  in size. Beyond 2.0, the
              returns are diminishing.

       -parallel
              Run all processes in parallel and pipe into multiplexer,  should
              increase speed significantly.

       -debug Save  output in a temporary file, for later viewing if something
              goes wrong.
